A common inflammatory skin condition that occurs when pores become clogged, resulting in whiteheads, blackheads, cysts or red bumps.
What is it?
Acne is one of the most common conditions we treat at Associated Dermatologists. Acne occurs when the skin becomes clogged with oil, dead skin cells, or bacteria, causing inflamed, red or puss-filled bumps on the skin’s surface. Hormonal changes, genetics and certain medications can also cause acne. These bumps mostly appear on the face, neck, chest and back and range from mild to severe.

While it can be difficult to prevent acne, our team at Associated Dermatologists brings a wealth of experience in acne treatment and recommends the following to help minimize breakouts.
1. Keep your skin clean by gently washing your face twice daily with a gentle cleanser.
2. Refrain from picking or squeezing active acne, doing so can irritate the breakout and delay the healing time.
3. Use the right skin care. Our experienced team at Associated Dermatology will help select the products that suit your specific acne condition.
4. Follow the recommended plan provided by our team and give your treatment plan time to work.
