I told the R.N all my issues and right away he took action and told me the necessary steps. I was a bit skeptical reading the reviews but these negative reviews are all lies. I gave it a chance and I'm very pleased. I will recommend everyone here. There's public parking available everywhere. Note you can't park in the parking lot it's not theirs. "

Comment Icon "We saw a doctor, who didn't even take the time to look at what kind of acne my daughter has, you explained to her that her skin is very sensitive and that she can't use strong products and the first thing I send her is the strongest thing I can give her. It would make her face worse, you go to the dermatologist to help you improve, not worse, using retinol on a 14-year-old girl is fatal, my worst experience in this office… "

Comment Icon "I didn’t see the reviews on their other listing and if I did I would have never went here. This place is the rudest doctors office I have ever been to. The girl at the front desk was yelling at me because I had the wrong referral but they called me an hour before and I explained what I had and they said come. I never met the doctor but that girl at the front desk gives you a horrible impression about this practice and based on the other 20 reviews on their main listing about the same thing I have no clue why she still works there. Maybe she should just bill and leave the human interaction to someone more qualified. "

Acne is a common skin condition that is caused by oil and dead skin cells blocking the hair follicles. This blockage can lead to blackheads, whiteheads and pimples. Acne primarily appears on the face, but it can also appear on the back, shoulders and chest. Although acne is more common in teenagers, you can get acne at any age.

The main causes of acne are excess production of sebum (a type of oil produced by the skin), bacteria, inflammation and clogged hair follicles. Our face, back, chest and shoulders have the most oil glands, which is why acne occurs in these areas.

Acne can be worsened by factors like stress, certain medications, dietary choices and hormonal changes. The significant hormonal changes that happen during puberty are why teenagers are often afflicted with acne.

Acne appears in a few different forms. The common types of acne include:

  • Whiteheads - These are pores that are plugged and closed
  • Blackheads - These are pores that are plugged and open
  • Papules - These are small, inflamed bumps. Typically red in appearance and tender to the touch.
  • Pimples or pustules - These are papules filled with pus at the tip
  • Nodules - Solid and painful lumps under the surface of the skin
  • Cysts - Painful, pus-filled lumps under the surface of the skin

Acne can also sometimes have complications like scarring after healing.

If over-the-counter acne treatment options aren't working, the best provider to see for acne treatment is a dermatologist. Dermatologists specialize in the health and treatment of skin conditions, and acne is one of the most common conditions they treat. They can help control your acne and create a personalized treatment plan that works for your skin type and needs. Seeking professional help from a dermatologist cannot only help manage your acne but also help mitigate potential scarring. Dermatologist intervention is especially essential for persistent, severe or cystic acne.

A dermatologist can provide a level of care and expertise that you can't get from over-the-counter acne treatment. Some of the key benefits of seeing a dermatologist for acne include:

  • Personalized treatment - A dermatologist can look at your skin type and develop a personalized treatment plan for you. This treatment may include skin care routines, prescription medications and acne therapies. In short, a dermatologist can create the most comprehensive treatment plan possible to address your skin concerns.
  • Prescription options - Over-the-counter acne options may not be enough for some acne cases. Dermatologists can prescribe topical or oral acne medications if necessary.
  • Avoid scarring - A dermatologist has an in-depth understanding of the skin and treating skin conditions. By creating a targeted skin care plan for your acne, you can minimize scarring that occurs from long-term or severe acne that goes untreated.
  • Acne therapy options - If necessary, dermatologists can offer therapeutic acne interventions like light therapy, chemical peels, extraction and steroid injections for nodules and cysts.

Your dermatologist appointment will likely begin with a discussion about your health history and skin concerns. They may ask about your lifestyle, diet and skin care products you're currently using. Your dermatologist can then conduct a thorough assessment of your skin to determine what is needed for treatment. You and your dermatologist can then discuss potential treatment options to determine what is best for you.

Acne treatment is not typically a one-size-fits-all solution. A personalized and multifaceted approach is needed. Treatment options may include a combination of one or more of the following:

  • A skin care routine - Your dermatologist may recommend a multistep skin care routine that is tailored to your skin type and addresses the root cause of your acne.
  • Medication - They may also recommend prescription medication. Acne medication may be topical or oral.
  • Procedures - Your dermatologist may recommend certain procedures like light therapy or chemical peels for more severe cases.
  • Lifestyle changes - Your dermatologist may also recommend certain lifestyle changes like showering right after exercising, avoiding picking or touching your face, washing your pillowcase regularly, drinking enough water and more to help your skin clear up.
