Acne Management
Acne is one of the most common skin conditions affecting teens and adults. Dr. Ramirez is a skin care expert that can find the best treatment for you.
What causes acne?
There are three main factors that contribute to acne: excess oil production, clogged pores, and bacteria. Acne can also be exacerbated by triggers including hormonal changes, diet, and stress.
Sometimes clogged pores get red and inflamed. A white head may be visible at the top. In other cases, the clogged follicle is exposed to the air, which causes the area to darken into a blackhead.
Acne is most common during puberty. Most people who experience acne in their teens see it clear up significantly by their 20s. However, some people experience acne into their 30s and beyond.
A dermatologist can help you to find the right regimen for your skin type that will help to improve your acne, minimize and prevent future acne flares, and reduce the appearance of acne scars.
Tailored acne treatments
Optimal acne treatment results depends on the type and severity of your acne
For mild outbreaks, over-the-counter topical treatments (adapalene 1% gel, salicyclic acid or benzoyl peroxide cleansers or creams) can be extremely helpful,
For stubborn acne that doesn’t respond to over the counter medications OR for moderate to severe acne, topical or oral prescription medications (including isotretinoin) will give you a more effective treatment.
Additional options include light therapy, chemical peels and steroid injections can also form valuable parts of an effective regimen. .
