Types of Acne

Acne is one of the most common skin conditions, affecting millions of people worldwide. It occurs when hair follicles become clogged with oil and dead skin cells, leading to pimples, blackheads, or cysts. While it’s often associated with teenagers, acne can affect adults as well.

  • Whiteheads: Closed pores that appear as small white bumps.
  • Blackheads: Open pores clogged with oil, turning dark due to oxidation.
  • Papules: Small red or pink bumps that may feel tender.
  • Pustules: Pimples containing pus at the tip.
  • Nodules: Painful, solid lumps under the skin.
  • Cystic Acne: Large, pus-filled lumps that can cause scarring

Causes

Acne has many causes, including:

  • Hormonal Changes: Fluctuations during puberty, menstruation, pregnancy, or stress can trigger acne.
  • Excess Sebum Production: Overactive oil glands can clog pores and lead to breakouts.
  • Bacterial Growth: Propionibacterium acnes bacteria can multiply in clogged pores, causing inflammation.
  • Lifestyle Factors: Diet, stress, and improper skincare routines can worsen acne.

Identifying the root cause of your acne allows us to create a treatment plan that addresses the problem effectively.

Symptoms

The symptoms of acne vary based on severity and type, including:

  • Red, inflamed bumps
  • Blackheads and whiteheads
  • Painful cysts or nodules
  • Dark spots or scars after pimples heal

If you’re experiencing persistent symptoms, it’s essential to seek professional care to prevent long-term damage and scarring

Aftercare

After treatment, proper aftercare ensures lasting results and minimizes the risk of new breakouts. Follow these tips:

  • Stick to Your Routine: Use dermatologist-recommended skincare products consistently.
  • Avoid Picking: Resist the urge to touch or pick at your skin to prevent scarring.
  • Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water to support skin healing.
  • Use Sunscreen: Protect your skin from harmful UV rays, especially if using topical treatments.
  • Regular Follow-Ups: Schedule follow-up visits to monitor progress and adjust your treatment plan as needed.
