Acne is most prevalent in adolescents, can occur at any age, and may cause skin scarring, hyperpigmentation, and emotional stress. This skin condition typically occurs on the face, chest, upper back, or shoulders when hair follicles become clogged or blocked with dead skin cells and oil.
If you suddenly get acne as an adult, it’s often because of an underlying medical condition, like hormonal disorders or autoimmune diseases.
Dr. Rothfleisch designs a treatment plan that specifically addresses the types of acne present. The types of acne include:
You may have temporary mild acne or experience flare-ups for years. Many women notice acne in the week before menstruation as a result of hormonal changes.
The main factors that cause or exacerbate acne include:
Sometimes, the follicle wall produces a whitehead; then, the plug opens and darkens in color when exposed to bacteria and oil in the air.
Acne treatments prevent damage to your skin and prevent scarring by managing and reducing your symptoms. Different acne medications work to kill bacteria, accelerate cell turnover, and decrease oil production and inflammation.
For most causes and types of acne, Dr. Rothfleisch prescribes a topical prescription-strength medication, such as those containing benzoyl peroxide, retinoid, or salicylic acid. For severe acne symptoms, such as nodules and cysts, he might recommend oral medications like Isotretinoin or an antibiotic.
