Acne Treatment and Expert care at Dr Skin
Acne is a widespread skin condition that affects individuals of all ages, particularly teenagers. Characterized by the presence of pimples, blackheads, and cysts, acne occurs when hair follicles become clogged with oil, dead skin cells, and bacteria. This condition can significantly impact a person’s self-esteem and quality of life.
Understanding the types, causes, symptoms, and treatment options for acne is crucial for managing this common skin condition effectively.

Identifying Acne: Dr. Skin’s Expert Care
- Pimples (Papules and Pustules): Small, red bumps or larger pus-filled lesions, often inflamed and tender, caused by clogged and infected hair follicles.
- Blackheads (Open Comedones): Small dark bumps on the skin’s surface, often on the nose and chin, resulting from oxidized oil in partially blocked pores.
- Whiteheads (Closed Comedones): White or flesh-colored bumps formed by completely blocked pores, commonly on the face, that trap oil and dead skin cells.
- Cysts: Large, painful lumps beneath the skin’s surface due to deep follicle infections, often causing scarring if untreated.
- Nodules: Firm, painful lumps under the skin that are not pus-filled, resistant to standard treatments and may need professional care.
