In Stage 1 acne, also known as comedonal acne, the primary characteristics are open and closed comedones, commonly referred to as blackheads and whiteheads. These are small bumps that form when hair follicles become clogged with oil and dead skin cells. Stage 1 acne is typically mild and may not be accompanied by inflammation or redness. It often appears as slightly raised, skin-colored bumps on the face, particularly in the T-zone.
