Change From Baseline in Total and Each Type of Acne Lesions Count at Month 1
Total acne (pimples) lesion (abnormal area of tissue, such as a wound, sore, rash, or boil) count is summation of all lesions which includes all comedones (open and closed), papules, pustules, and nodules. Change from Baseline means lesions at Baseline minus lesions at Month 1. Positive value indicates decrease in lesion count while negative value indicates increase in lesion count.
