Understanding Acne
When pores fill with sebum and dead skin, the result is acne: pimples, blackheads and occasionally sore nodules.
Common Triggers
Hormonal changes, oily skin, bacteria and genetics lie behind acne. Heat, perspiration, pore-clogging sun lotions or cosmetics and friction from straps can make it worse while travelling.
How Acne Is Treated
Using video or photos the physician assesses the skin, recommends a care routine, prescribes topical or oral treatment if suitable and advises when a dermatologist is the better option. Depending on your case, the doctor may suggest topical treatments such as benzoyl peroxide, retinoids or topical antibiotics, and sometimes oral antibiotics.
- Avoid squeezing spots, which can scar
- Wash gently twice a day with a mild cleanser
