Types of Acne Blemishes
- Whiteheads/Blackheads: Non-inflammatory and commonly found on the face and shoulders. These do not typically scar unless they become infected.
- Red Pustules and Papules: Inflammatory acne that can fill with pus and may lead to scarring.
Common Causes of Acne
Acne results when pores become clogged with oil, dirt, and dead skin cells, forming blemishes like whiteheads, blackheads, and cystic acne. Other contributing factors include:
1
Dietary sensitivities (e.g., dairy)
2
Stress levels
3
Certain medications (such as corticosteroids)
When to Seek Professional Acne Treatment
Consider seeing a dermatologist if:
- Your acne doesn’t respond to over-the-counter products
- Breakouts are severe or painful
- You experience cystic acne
- Acne is impacting your self-confidence
Professional Acne Treatment Options
Benzoyl Peroxide
- An effective first-line treatment for mild acne, benzoyl peroxide helps reduce pore blockages.
Oral and Topical Antibiotics
- Prescribed to address infection in the pores and reduce inflammation.
Hormonal Treatments
- For adult women with hormonally driven acne, hormonal treatments can help regulate outbreaks.
Tretinoin (Vitamin A Derivative)
- A mainstay in acne care, tretinoin helps clear blocked pores and prevent new breakouts.
Extraction
- For stubborn blackheads and whiteheads, extraction removes blockages safely under dermatologic care.
Self-Care for Mild Acne
For mild cases, keeping your skin clean and using over-the-counter products may be helpful. However, if your acne persists or worsens, professional care is recommended for a tailored, effective approach.
