A common inflammatory skin condition that occurs when pores become clogged, resulting in whiteheads, blackheads, cysts or red bumps.
What is it?
Acne is among the prevalent issues we address at Dermatology and Skin Surgery Center. This condition arises when the skin is blocked with oil, dead skin cells or bacteria, leading to inflamed, red or puss-filled pimples on the skin's surface. Factors such as hormonal shifts, genetics and certain medications can trigger acne. These pimples primarily manifest on the face, neck, chest and back and can vary from mild to severe in intensity.
