What is Acne?
The most common form of acne is known as “Acne vulgaris” or common acne. Seen mostly in teenagers during puberty, acne is the result of changes in hormone levels. It affects hair follicles and their sebaceous glands predominantly in areas such as the face, chest and back. Acne results in dry flaky skin combined with the presence of pimples, papules and black heads.
Beyond the physical effects, acne is often an embarrassing condition that sometimes leads to low self-esteem or depression. For many people acne goes away in their early twenties, but for some it occurs throughout adulthood.
Acne Treatments
Traditionally mild acne treatment involves over the counter topical creams containing benzoyl peroxide. More severe cases in women can sometimes be helped with antibiotics. There are also topical retinoids, which are available by prescription only. These acne treatments help alleviate acne, however, they often cause the skin to become dry and irritated.
In recent years several procedures have become available for acne treatment.These include dermabrasion, phototherapy and lasers. These treatments have had varying degrees of success.
