Treatment Options
Acne is a common skin condition that occurs when hair follicles become clogged with oil and dead skin cells. Factors such as hormonal changes, stress, diet, and certain medications can contribute to its development. It often appears as pimples, blackheads, or whiteheads, typically affecting the face, chest, and back.
Treatment may help reduce the appearance of acne and prevent new breakouts. Options include topical creams, gels, and oral medications, which should be used under the guidance of a healthcare professional. Consulting a prescriber can ensure the most suitable approach based on individual skin type and severity.
