Breakouts happen when your pores or hair follicles are clogged by excess oil, bacteria or dead skin cells. If this occurs near the skin’s surface then breakouts, whiteheads or blackheads may appear.
Most commonly, acne causes pimples on the face, forehead, chest, shoulders, and upper back. Genetics, fluctuating hormone levels, stress, high humidity, and using oily or greasy personal care products can all contribute. It is most common among teenagers, but it can also affect adults.
In mild to moderate cases, you can wash your face and follow a basic skin cleansing routine to clear the breakout. However, in more severe cases, pimples develop into lumps below the skin’s surface that can cause irritation and possible infection. This type of acne is commonly known as cystic acne.
Dr. Weishar has over 30 years of experience treating acne. She says that treatment depends on the type, severity, and skin tone of the patient. We offer several treatment options. Chemical peels, laser resurfacing, dermabrasion and microneedling are all treatment options.
Used for more severe cases, this oral medication reduces oil production, allowing skin to heal faster. Dr. Weishar may also prescribe an oral antibiotic to help reduce bacteria.
