Acne is one of the most common skin disorders treated by dermatologists. Acne can range in severity from mild disease to more severe and recalcitrant disease, including nodulocystic lesions and lesions on the back and chest. Acne may also lead to significant scarring and dyspigmentation. If you have acne, we can diagnose you by looking at your breakouts. During your appointment, we will also note what types of acne you have and where the breakouts appear on your skin. This helps us create an effective treatment plan. Acne treatments aim to: decrease sebum production, kill acne bacteria, help normalize skin shedding and reduce inflammation. Whether you have stubborn acne or another condition, we can create a treatment plan tailored to your needs.
