Acne Treatment Q & A
What is Acne?
Acne is a skin condition that happens when dead skin, oil, and bacteria cause pore blockage. This blockage results in the bumps often seen on the face, chest, back, and other areas. Acne can range from minor bumps that soon fade away to major lumps known as cystic acne. If acne is not treated, it can often leave scars behind.
Who is Susceptible to Acne?
While most people think of acne as being something that impacts only teenagers, that is a fallacy. Adults often have acne well into their 20s, 30s, and 40s in many cases. Men and women both suffer from acne, and people from all ethnic groups can deal with this condition. No matter what a person’s age when they have acne, it can be upsetting and humiliating. Fortunately, there is effective treatment available.
What is The Best Treatment for Acne?
Acne is best managed and treated with the help of a physician like Dr. Salcedo, as he has extensive experience in helping patients with their dermatology needs. Not only does the existing acne need to be treated, but the development of new acne must be prevented as well. These dual goals can be accomplished in several different ways. A Salicylic acid peel may be very effective in treating acne. This peel can dissolve the dead skin, oil, and bacteria causing the acne. It is an extremely good exfoliator, which allows the fresh new skin below to be exposed. Other treatment options for acne may include oral medications and skin care regimens. Acne treatment is something that must be customized for the individual patient, based on the degree of acne, the type of acne, and the patient’s desired type of treatment. There is no reason that a person has to suffer from chronic acne at any age today, thanks to the highly effective treatments that are now available.
