Comment Icon "I've been seeing Dr. Friedler did a few years, and saw her again today. I had to wait a little, but it was my own fault for being late; she came to the waiting room door herself while I was checking in to see if she had patients there, so she finished with them first. Anyway, when Dr. Friedler did come into the examination room, she spent a very long time with me. She thoroughly discussed every one of my issues and concerns, and varieties of treatments that included OTC solutions. She couldn't have been kinder or more informative. She also shared personal details that displayed her genuine empathy. BTW, I saw examples of her cosmetic work and it's stunning. Totally natural looking, not "done", but enhanced and refreshed. Even the lip fillers looked natural, and that's the acid test. I've never even considered injectables before because they usually look awful, but now? Strong possibility. "

Comment Icon "Dr. Lamb is such a stand-out doctor that I hardly know where to begin to applaud her welcoming and caring personality. In addition to being an excellent dermatologist, who I recommend to everyone that is looking for one, she goes over and above any doctor I've ever had. She is incredibly helpful and patient, taking time to make sure that I understand her diagnoses and options available, never pressuring me into any procedures that are elective (unlike so many dermatologists who try as hard as they can to get patients to have expensive treatments) and so happy to help on personal levels as well. She has taken the time to help me negotiate a skin condition that my son had while overseas. Dr. Lamb helped me identify specialists for him and followed up to make sure she could continue to help in every way possible. Dr. Lamb is the rare doctor who exudes care and compassion. I highly recommend her to patients that are looking for an incredibly giving, expert dermatologist. She is a gem and I feel very lucky to have her as my doctor. --Avra "

Acne is a prevalent skin condition caused by oil and dead skin cells clogging hair follicles. This blockage can result in 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 frequent among teenagers, acne can affect individuals of any age.

The primary causes of acne include excessive sebum production (a type of oil produced by the skin), 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.

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

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

  • Whiteheads - Plugged and closed pores
  • Blackheads - Plugged and open pores
  • Papules - Small, inflamed bumps that are typically red and tender to the touch
  • 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 surface of the skin

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, the best professional to consult for acne treatment is a dermatologist. 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 is not only essential for managing acne but also for minimizing the risk of potential scarring. Dermatologist intervention is particularly crucial for persistent, severe, or cystic acne cases.

A dermatologist can offer a level of care and expertise that goes beyond over-the-counter acne treatments. Some of the key benefits of consulting a dermatologist for acne include:

  • Personalized treatment - A dermatologist can assess your skin type and create a customized treatment plan for you, which may include skin care routines, prescription medications, and acne therapies. In essence, a dermatologist can develop the most comprehensive treatment plan possible to address your specific skin concerns.
  • Prescription options - Over-the-counter acne products 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 expertise in 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 acne left untreated.
  • Acne therapy options - When needed, dermatologists can provide therapeutic acne interventions such as light therapy, chemical peels, extraction, and steroid injections for nodules and cysts.

Your dermatologist appointment will typically begin with a discussion about your health history and skin concerns. They may inquire about your lifestyle, diet, and the skin care products you currently use. Your dermatologist 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 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:

  • A 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 medication, which can be topical or oral.
  • Procedures - For more severe cases, your dermatologist may recommend procedures such as light therapy or chemical peels.
  • Lifestyle changes - Your dermatologist may suggest certain lifestyle changes, such as showering immediately after exercising, avoiding touching or picking your face, regularly washing your pillowcase, drinking enough water, and more to help improve your skin's condition.
