Most of us have been acquainted with acne at some point in our lives — whether you experienced it as a teenager, have battled hormonal fluctuations, or it’s flared up in adulthood. Acne may leave you feeling frustrated and embarrassed. The bad news is that acne can be persistent, painful, and lead to scarring. The good news is that we can help.
Acne occurs when hair follicles and sebaceous glands secrete oils to keep the skin moist. It leads to the common appearance of whiteheads, blackheads, and pimples. Unfortunately, many of these pimples and bumps are difficult to get rid of, and when not treated properly, they can lead to lesions, permanent scarring, and other skin problems. Even if acne is something you’ve dealt with for a long time, it’s never too late to start treatment!
