Comment Icon "I read through many of the reviews on Google about this office and concur with the vast majority of them who rated the office five stars. From the time I arrived the staff was pleasant and welcoming. They were thorough, sensitive and thoughtful (I was given the option of allowing the male nurse who performed my intake assessment to remain in the room while the doctor examined me, if not, they would provide a female), and quite comforting. The doctor took her time, explained the course of treatment well, and was sure to answer any questions or concerns I had. I would highly recommend the Dermatology Specialists to anyone searching for a staff who's, you know... special. "

Comment Icon "I was referred to Dr. Borkowsky with something that my PCP and I believed was urgent - she took me me in the same day and ensured that she would do everything she could to make sure I would be fine. Patients like myself look for reassurance from their doctor regarding whatever is affecting them can be treated, and she stuck to her word. She went above and beyond to prescribe me medication for pickup that same night, kept in touch with me regularly, and ,most importantly, treated me. Highly recommended!!! "

Comment Icon "Dr. Zeichner fixed my skin issues and continues to provide me with accurate medical advice. I have seen many dermatologists over a twenty year period, and he is the only one who was able to fix my skin completely. The negative reviews are unfair because they do not portray his abilities as a knowledgeable and highly intelligent physician. Its normal for in-demand doctors in NYC to be running late, so this is not unique to Dr. Zeichner. The fact that he is written about in magazines is irrelevant, and has nothing to do with his deep knowledge of skin - many top doctors give interviews to the press and that is not a fair or legitimate reason to give him a negative review. I judge Doctors based upon their ability to correctly address my medical issues, and his abilities are among the BEST I have seen. If you need a smart and very experienced dermatologist who can fix your skin issues then go see Dr. Zeichner. I give Dr. Zeichner my highest recommendation. "

Acne is a prevalent skin condition that occurs when oil and dead skin cells clog hair follicles, leading to the formation of blackheads, whiteheads, and pimples. While acne most commonly appears on the face, it can also develop on the back, shoulders, and chest. Although more frequently associated with teenagers, acne can affect individuals of any age.

The primary causes of acne include excessive sebum production, bacteria, inflammation, and clogged hair follicles. The face, back, chest, and shoulders have the highest concentration of oil glands, which is why acne tends to occur in these areas.

Various factors can exacerbate acne, such as stress, certain medications, dietary choices, and hormonal fluctuations. The significant hormonal changes that occur during puberty are the main reason why teenagers are often prone to developing acne.

Acne can manifest in several different forms. The common types of acne include:

  • Whiteheads - Plugged and closed pores
  • Blackheads - Plugged and open pores
  • Papules - Small, inflamed, red, and tender bumps
  • Pimples or pustules - Papules with pus at the tip
  • Nodules - Solid, painful lumps beneath the skin's surface
  • Cysts - Painful, pus-filled lumps under the skin's surface

In some cases, acne can lead to complications such as scarring after healing.

If over-the-counter acne treatments aren't providing the desired results, it's best to consult a dermatologist for professional acne treatment. Dermatologists are experts in the health and treatment of skin conditions, with acne being one of the most common issues they address. They can help control your acne and develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your skin type and specific needs. Seeking the help of a dermatologist not only aids in managing acne but also helps minimize the risk of potential scarring. Dermatologist intervention is particularly crucial for persistent, severe, or cystic acne cases.

Consulting a dermatologist for acne provides a level of care and expertise that over-the-counter treatments cannot match. Some of the key benefits of seeing a dermatologist for acne include:

  • Personalized treatment - A dermatologist can assess your skin type and develop a customized treatment plan that may include skin care routines, prescription medications, and acne therapies. In essence, a dermatologist can create the most comprehensive treatment plan possible to address your specific skin concerns.
  • Prescription options - Over-the-counter acne treatments may not be sufficient for some acne cases. Dermatologists can prescribe topical or oral acne medications when necessary.
  • Scar prevention - With their in-depth understanding of the skin and treating skin conditions, dermatologists can create a targeted skin care plan for your acne, minimizing the risk of scarring that can result from long-term or severe untreated acne.
  • Acne therapy options - For more severe cases, dermatologists can offer therapeutic acne interventions such as light therapy, chemical peels, extraction, and steroid injections for nodules and cysts.

During your dermatologist appointment, you can expect to discuss your health history and skin concerns. Your dermatologist may inquire about your lifestyle, diet, and current skin care products. They will then perform a thorough assessment of your skin to determine the best course of treatment. Together, you and your dermatologist can discuss potential treatment options to identify the most suitable approach for your specific needs.

Acne treatment is rarely a one-size-fits-all solution. A personalized and multifaceted approach is often necessary. Treatment options may include a combination of one or more of the following:

  • Skin care routine - Your dermatologist may recommend a multistep skin care routine tailored to your skin type that addresses the root cause of your acne.
  • Medication - They may also prescribe topical or oral acne medication.
  • Procedures - For more severe cases, your dermatologist may recommend procedures such as light therapy or chemical peels.
  • Lifestyle changes - Your dermatologist may suggest lifestyle changes like showering immediately after exercising, avoiding touching or picking your face, regularly washing your pillowcase, staying hydrated, and more to help clear up your skin.
