Acne isn’t just about the occasional pimple. For many, it’s a persistent skin problem that affects confidence, work, and social life. As a dermatologist, I often see patients who have tried countless products with little success — not because they didn’t care for their skin, but because acne is more complex than it seems.
What Really Causes Acne?
Acne forms when pores get clogged with oil, dead skin cells, and sometimes bacteria. In teenagers, hormones are often the trigger. In adults, stress, diet, or even unsuitable skincare products can make acne worse. Genetics also play a strong role — if your parents had acne, you’re more likely to develop it too.
Different Types of Acne
Comedones (Whiteheads & Blackheads): Clogged pores.
Inflammatory Acne: Red, swollen spots or pus-filled bumps.
Nodules & Cysts: Deep, painful lumps that can cause scarring.
Knowing which type you have matters because treatments differ.
Why Early Treatment Matters
Delaying treatment increases the risk of scars and dark marks. These can take months — even years — to fade. The good news is, modern dermatology offers solutions that are effective and tailored to your skin.
Treatment Options Available Today
Topical Medications: Prescription creams or gels to reduce oil, bacteria, and inflammation.
Oral Medications: Antibiotics, hormonal therapy, or isotretinoin for resistant cases.
Procedures: Chemical peels, medical facials, and laser/light therapy to speed recovery and improve skin texture.
