Acne

The appearance of acne can have a huge impact on our confidence and self-esteem, whilst the heat and pain it can cause may make it uncomfortable to live with.

It’s not just teenagers who experience acne – adults can suffer from the common skin condition too. Acne can be difficult to manage and is most commonly caused by changes or imbalances in hormone levels rather than dirt or poor hygiene, which is why it is commonly brought on by puberty, menopause or other changes in the body that can alter hormone production. Acne should ideally be brought under control sooner rather than later to prevent problems associated with acne, such as scarring.

What causes acne?

Acne is a common skin condition that presents itself as spots on the face, chest or back.

It is commonly caused by oil (also known as sebum) and dead skin cells clogging the pores on your skin and can appear in a few different ways depending on its severity:

• Blackheads (open clogged pores)
• Whiteheads (closed clogged pores)
• Papules (sore red bumps)
• Pustules (sore bumps filled with pus)
• Nodules (large red painful lumps under the skin)
• Cysts (pus-filled lumps under the skin)

Hormonal changes, diet, genetics and certain medications can all exacerbate and trigger acne breakouts. For this reason, we will examine your medical and lifestyle history before recommending an approach.
