At NaturallYou by Terry Conrad, APRN, we provide tailored acne treatments to help you achieve clearer, healthier skin. Acne is a common skin condition that affects people of all ages, not just teenagers. Though it’s not life-threatening, it can cause physical discomfort, emotional stress, and even permanent scarring. The good news is that several effective treatment options can reduce breakouts and improve your skin’s appearance.
Acne occurs when hair follicles on your skin become clogged with oil, dead skin cells, and bacteria. This results in various types of skin blemishes, such as blackheads, whiteheads, pimples, and in severe cases, cysts or nodules. Acne typically appears on the face, neck, chest, back, shoulders, and upper arms.
It is primarily triggered by an overproduction of oil (sebum), dead skin cells, and bacteria that build up and block your pores. Hormonal changes, genetics, stress, and certain medications can all contribute to the onset of acne. Common symptoms of acne include:
