What is Acne?
Acne can present in a number of ways and can cause long term scarring. Acne normally presents as black heads, white heads and puss filled spots that can be uncomfortable and have an impact on self-confidence. Normally starting at puberty (although adult acne is also quite common) these spots can be on the face, back, neck and chest.
Acne is caused when the pores of the skin become clogged, this then makes those pores overproduce a naturally occurring oil called sebum which along with the clogged pores causes the acne. The most common reason for acne is hormonal changes (which is why it is prevalent in teens) it is often hereditary and can also be caused by dietary factors and certain medication.
As there are many different types of acne, a skin consultation and then personalised treatment plan is needed to get the best results for your type of acne. Different types of acne include:
- Acne Cosmetica
- Acne Rosacea
- Acne Vulgaris
- Adult Acne
- Back Acne
- Cystic Acne
- Acne Scarring
