Acne is a common skin condition that affects your face, back, chest, shoulders,
and arms. Although acne is nonlife threatening, it can lead to scars and emotional distress.
Acne develops when hair follicles or pores become clogged with too much oil and dead skin cells. When this happens, your pores become infected with bacteria and start to swell.
While experts don’t know exactly why some people experience acne and others don’t, flare ups often start after triggers like hormone fluctuations, environmental factors, stressful life events, and certain cosmetic products or medications.
Acne comes in many forms. Your pimples may look like:
If you pick or pop your acne, you could put yourself at risk of leaving permanent acne scars, but with early and adequate treatment at Northstar Dermatology, your skin can clear up with no scars at all.
Acne flare ups don’t always call for professional intervention. In fact, you can reduce or alleviate it with home care remedies in many cases. You should visit Northstar Dermatology for treatment if your acne continues to come back or seems to never go away. Beyond a certain age, acne could indicate an underlying medical condition that needs attention, too.
Getting treatment for your acne can ease some of the emotional stress that comes with it. At any age, a bad acne flare up is embarrassing and can take a toll on your confidence.
