What is acne?
Acne symptoms include visible pimples, blackheads, and whiteheads on the skin. Affected areas often involve the face, chest, and back, where oil glands are most active. Symptoms can range from mild to severe, leading to redness, inflammation, and, in some cases, painful cysts or nodules. Persistent acne might also result in scarring or dark spots, especially if picked or squeezed.
Types of acne
Acne can manifest in several forms, including:
- Blackheads: Open pores clogged with oil and dead skin, appearing dark.
- Whiteheads: Closed, clogged pores, appearing as small, white bumps.
- Papules: Small, red, tender bumps.
- Pustules: Papules with pus at their tips.
- Nodules: Large, solid, painful lumps beneath the skin’s surface.
- Cysts: Deep, painful, pus-filled lumps beneath the skin, often causing scars.
What causes acne?
Acne is caused by the clogging of hair follicles with oil and dead skin cells. Factors contributing to acne include hormonal changes, diet, stress, and the use of certain medications. Hormonal fluctuations during puberty, menstruation, and pregnancy can trigger excess oil production. Additionally, genetics play a significant role in one’s susceptibility to acne.
What acne treatments are there?
Acne treatments aim to reduce oil production, speed up skin cell turnover, fight bacterial infection, and reduce inflammation to prevent scarring. They include topical treatments (like retinoids and antibiotics), oral medications (such as isotretinoin for severe cases), and therapies like chemical peels, laser, and light therapy. Over-the-counter products containing benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid can also be effective for mild acne.

Online Doctor's acne advice
An online doctor can offer valuable advice for managing acne from the comfort of your home. They can diagnose your acne type, suggest appropriate treatments, and provide tips for skincare routines that can help reduce breakouts. Online consultations make it easier to access professional guidance and prescription treatments without the need for a physical visit.
What are the triggers of acne?
Acne triggers include hormonal fluctuations, certain medications, diet, and stress. Hormones can increase oil production, leading to clogged pores. Medications such as corticosteroids, testosterone, or lithium can also provoke acne. Diets high in dairy products and sugary foods might worsen acne for some people. Stress doesn’t directly cause acne but can exacerbate existing conditions.
Can the contraceptive pill help acne?
Yes, the contraceptive pill can help manage acne in women by regulating hormones that trigger excess oil production. Pills containing both estrogen and progestin can decrease the amount of oil the skin produces, helping to clear acne. It’s important to consult a healthcare provider to determine if this is an appropriate treatment option based on individual health and acne severity.
