I've always wondered what form of acne I have. Since there's so many different types, it's hard to pinpoint to exactly what I have http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acne_%28disambiguation%29 especially when so few have good pictures. As you can see, the skin is fairly smooth (for acne at least), not many "cysts" (or whatever the correct term is, I'm not a native English speaker) that pop out of the skin.

The last three pictures were taken after Benzoyl Peroxide, which I wont bother with again. That's why it's pretty red. And yeah, I'm fairly unshaven since I don't want to irritate the skin for no reason if I'm not going anywhere special.

When you get an acne mark- is it red with a white head (sorry for the nasty description), or is it like a red bump that has no white head?

Looks like mild acne to me with a light case of nodules.. nothing too serious. Best to treat it immediately though so that you don't possibly get any more.

I'm also wondering how you guys think strangers, girls (or boys if you're a girl) and others perceive you with acne. Do you find that people might think it's off-putting? I've noticed that some people tend to be more passive aggressive/show uninterest towards me in comparison to friends or others that I'm with.

Definitely hormonal. You can tell because your forehead is completely clear! Go see a doctor and he can prescribe something for you :) Or use a BP gel and top of it with a moisturizer. Works well!
