What is Acne?

Acne is a common skin condition that affects most people at some point in their lives. It manifests as whiteheads, blackheads, papules, pustules, or nodules beneath the skin.

Symptoms of Acne: Symptoms vary but may include blackheads, whiteheads, nodules, papules, pustules, or cystic lesions. Severity ranges from mild to severe.

Can Acne Cause Scars?

Yes, acne can lead to scarring if it penetrates deeply, damaging the tissue beneath. Dermatologists can provide effective treatments to diminish the appearance of acne scars.

Causes of Acne: Acne occurs when skin’s sebaceous glands produce sebum, combining with dead skin cells to create plugs in hair follicles. This can result in various types of acne lesions.

Diagnosing Acne: A physical exam helps assess the severity, types of lesions, and distribution areas. This aids in determining the appropriate treatment plan.

Treatment and Prevention: Treatment often begins with home remedies and over-the-counter medications. Recommendations may include gentle cleansing, avoiding irritants, and using sun protection. Prescription medications may be suggested for more severe cases.

Prescription Acne Medications: Topical creams containing salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide are common options to reduce oil production and inflammation.

When to See a Doctor: If home remedies don’t show improvement within a month, consulting a healthcare professional is advisable. Prescription medications may be necessary for effective treatment.
