ABOUT ACNE
Acne is a common skin condition caused by the blockage of hair follicles and oil glands by oil, dead skin cells, and bacteria. The blocked pores lead to whiteheads, blackheads, inflammatory papules or nodules (red, tender bumps), pustules (pus-filled bumps), and even cysts.
Acne breakouts can occur at any age but are most common during the teenage years. Hormonal changes, certain medications, and the use of oily or greasy products are some factors that can contribute to breakouts. Acne breakouts most typically occur on the face, chest, back, and shoulders.
Types of acne
Occurs when yeast builds up in your hair follicles. These can be itchy and inflamed.
Cystic acne causes deep, pus-filled pimples and nodules. These can cause scars.
Hormonal acne affects adults who have an overproduction of sebum that clogs their pores.
Nodular acne is a severe form of acne that causes pimples on the surface of your skin, and tender, nodular lumps under your skin.
Treatment Options
At Core Dermatology we believe no two patients are alike. Assessing acne on a case-to-case basis is a critical part of successfully treating the condition. Additionally, treatment times can vary; some patients may need treatment for a few months while others need treatment for years.
There are several ways to treat acne, including topical acne medications, oral prescription medications, chemical peels, and laser therapy.
