Acne can be a frustrating issue to deal with. You can feel embarrassed by acne and equally embarrassed by some of the scars that acne can leave. When it comes to treating your skin and getting the clear skin you’ve always wanted, you have options. You don’t have to deal with acne on your own and there are many ways that our board-certified dermatologists can help you achieve clear skin that you can be excited to show off.
Causes of Acne
Acne is a common skin condition treated by your dermatologist. It can be caused by a buildup of excess oil, debris, and bacteria clogging your pores. Bacteria infecting the skin can also cause a type of acne known as cystic acne. Acne can also be caused by fluctuating hormones during puberty.
When To Visit Our Dermatologist for Acne Treatment
You should visit the dermatologist for acne treatment if:
- Your acne doesn’t go away with over-the-counter products
- Your acne is getting worse or more severe
- You have cystic acne, which requires antibiotics
- Your acne is causing your self-esteem and self-confidence to suffer
Treating Acne and Acne Scars
Acne treatment isn’t one size fits all and the process can be different for everyone. It can be difficult when over-the-counter products just aren’t cutting it and you may not be sure how you can get rid of acne. There are many different methods that your dermatologist might recommend, and they may even suggest trying more than one method at a time.
