Acne is a common problem among adolescents and young adults. Acne is a skin condition characterized by red pimples on the skin due to inflamed infected sebaceous glands. It is commonly seen on the face, neck, chest and back.
The cause of acne is multifactorial. Acne can be divided into non-inflammatory (open and closed comedones also known as blackheads and whiteheads) and inflammatory (papules, pustules and nodules) lesions. It presents different severity and stages. Genetic factors, obesity, unhealthy diet, hormonal imbalance, stress, unhealthy lifestyle, and physical irritants like mask contributes to the risk of developing acne.
At Sheen Clinic, acne treatments can be divided into pharmacological and non-pharmacological.
Pharmacological treatment can be divided into induction therapy and maintenance therapy. Examples of pharmacological treatment include topical medication such as differin gel, adapalene gel, benzoyl peroxide, oral medications (eg. Antibiotics, isotretinoin), and intralesional corticosteroid injection.
Non-pharmacological treatment includes laser, chemical peels (eg. Glycolic acid, Salicylic acid) and comedone extraction. Treatments usually vary in each individual according to the severity of acne/acne scar and skin condition.
