Acne

Understanding Acne

Acne can be an embarrassing and difficult condition to manage. Millions of teenagers as well as grown men and women alike suffer from acne problems. In addition to being unsightly and even physically uncomfortable, there are certain types of acne that can lead to long-lasting scarring that is difficult to impossible to completely reverse. This is why attention to acne early on can make all the difference.

What is Acne?

Acne is most commonly seen on the face, but some people develop it on the chest, shoulders and back. Acne is a chronic condition with no definite cure. It is caused by hormonal inflammation of the oil-producing sebaceous glands which can swell shut and form plugs, leading to comedones (blackhead and whiteheads), pimples and cysts.

No one wants acne. No one wants a breakout prior to an important event. Though it’s best to develop an ongoing preventive regimen, there are some treatment options for last-minute pimples that may arise. Dr. Javid’s office strives to treat all acne problems. It is important to get an examination on an individual basis to determine the most effective options and treatment.

Other topical ingredients often used with great success include azelaic acid and topical dapsone,  The family of topical Vitamin A derivatives known as retinoids include retinol, tretinoin, adapalene and tazarotene.
