What is Acne?

Acne is a common skin condition characterised by blackheads, whiteheads and pus-filled spots. It typically begins at puberty and can range in severity, affecting areas such as face, back, neck and chest. In severe cases, acne can lead to scarring and impact self-confidence. While most people see improvements by the late teens or early twenties, some may continue to experience acne beyond this period.

What Causes Acne?

Acne arises when pores become obstructed by oil, dead skin cells, debris and bacteria. These pores are actually the opening of hair follicles which contain sebaceous glands. These glands produce an oily substance called sebum that lubricates the skin. When sebaceous glands generate excessive oil and pores become blocked, acne forms.

Key risk factors for acne include hormonal fluctuations or imbalances, certain medications and diet. Acne can also be hereditary, with many people who develop the condition having a family history of acne.

How is Acne Treated?

Depending on the severity, various treatment options are available:

Home care: For mild acne, maintaining a consistent hygiene and skincare routine with gentle, acne appropriate products can. help manage the condition.

Medications: Over the counter medications can help reduce acne symptoms. In more severe cases, our dermatologists may prescribe oral and topical antibiotics to decrease inflammation and eradicate acne causing bacteria. Additionally, our dermatologist may also suggest specific acne treatments to ease symptoms and prevent scarring.

Tips from our Dermatologist

Avoid washing affected areas more than twice daily to reduce irritation.
Use a mild cleanser with lukewarm water.
Avoid squeezing blackheads and spots to avoid scarring.
Do not use too many cosmetics and make-up and always remove before bedtime.
Be patient with treatment – results are not quick but work well after a few weeks.
