Acne Treatment
What is Acne?
Acne happens when pores get blocked by oil, dead skin, and bacteria, leading to breakouts like pimples, blackheads, and whiteheads. Etc. Whether you’re a teen or an adult, acne can strike, but with the right treatment and care, clearer, glowing skin is within reach.
Types of Acne
Discover the diverse world of acne: from mild breakouts to severe cystic acne!
Whiteheads
Whiteheads
These tiny, closed bumps form when pores become clogged with oil and dead skin cells. Whiteheads can be persistent and annoying, often caused by hormonal fluctuations or excess oil production.
Blackheads
Blackheads
In contrast to whiteheads, blackheads stay open at the surface, allowing trapped oil and dead skin to oxidise and take on a dark hue. Often found on the nose, chin, and forehead, these pesky blemishes can be frustrating for many.
Papules
Papules
Papules are the red, raised bumps of acne that don't have that pesky pus inside. Clogged pores often cause them and can be a bit tender.
Pustules
Pustules
Pustules are the inflamed, red bumps of acne that have a noticeable white or yellow pus-filled center. Pustules can be painful and often appear on the face, back, chest, and shoulders. If left untreated, they can worsen and lead to scarring.
Nodules
Nodules
Nodules are a severe form of acne characterised by large, hard, painful lumps that form beneath the skin's surface. Unlike other types of acne, nodules are not filled with pus and can last for weeks or even months.
Cysts
Cysts
These are deep, painful acne lesions that are filled with pus. They develop when pores become clogged and inflamed, often leading to significant scarring. Unlike other types of acne, cysts usually require medical treatment to manage effectively.
Acne Mechanica
Acne Mechanica
This type of acne is caused by friction and pressure on the skin. It's common in athletes and others who wear tight-fitting gear. The rubbing can irritate the skin and lead to pimples.
Hormonal Acne
Hormonal Acne
Hormonal acne is a type of acne caused by hormone fluctuations. It often appears in adults, especially women, and is characterised by deep, painful cysts. Treatment may involve hormonal therapies.
Treatment Combinations
Acne treatments can be combined based on the severity of the acne and the patient’s skin type. For instance, chemical peels might be followed by microneedling or laser treatments for more effective results on both active acne and scarring.
