Question: 1 / 400

What characterizes nodular cystic acne?

Closed comedos

Inflammatory hard lesions found deeper in the skin

Nodular cystic acne is characterized by inflammatory hard lesions found deeper in the skin. Other options are incorrect because closed comedos, also known as whiteheads, are typically seen in milder forms of acne and are not specific to nodular cystic acne. Chronic inflammatory condition with dilated facial capillaries, or rosacea, is a different skin condition from acne. A group of boils, or a carbuncle, may have a similar appearance to nodular cystic acne, but it is caused by a bacterial infection rather than acne. Additionally, a carbuncle is typically larger and more painful than a nodule in nodular cystic acne.
