I have severe acne, but sometimes get unsure about what types of acne I get, to break down the problem. I don't know if boil means the same as pustale, how they compare to nodular and cystic acne etc. Is a boil the same as a cyst when talking about acne?

I mostly get this kind of acne on my shoulders and chest but recently occurred on my face. Picture attached. I suffer from eczema and dry skin, so i've been recommended not to go on Isotretinoin right now
