“Dermatologist”

Hello there! This is one of the most common concerns in a derm clinic! You can start by using over the counter acne products if very mild. But depending on the cause of the acne and severity, I recommend get evaluated by a physician for customized medications (both topical and if needed oral meds)

Pimples and the marks that they leave behind can be pitted scaring or just pigmentation changes. Treatment consists of lifestyle changes such as drinking only water, avoiding processed food and sugar, sleeping 8 hours, exercising, and skin care. Make sure you get a good cleanser and you can start using Adapalene at night Benzoyl peroxide in the morning, which are over the counter. Start out 3 times a week to get used to it and increase to nightly and daily over time. If that’s nut working visit your dermatologist for more options.

Hi Patient, Cystic Acne is when oil and dead skin cells clog the skin pores within the dermis.They would then become pus-filled pimples that can lead to scarring .Cystic Acne can form on the back, butt, chest, neck and other areas of the body and between the ages of 11 & up.Cystic Acne should be treated at an dermatologist office with topical cream or antibiotics . Happy holidays!
