What is Acne?
Acne is a common inflammatory skin condition that affects the hair follicles and oil glands. It develops when pores become blocked with oil and dead skin cells, leading to spots, pimples, and sometimes deeper, more painful lesions. It most commonly affects the face, chest, and back and is often influenced by hormonal changes.
Many cases can be managed with appropriate skincare and topical treatments, but more persistent or severe acne may require medical treatment. Early treatment can help reduce inflammation, prevent scarring, and improve overall skin appearance.

How is acne usually treated?
Many cases of acne can be managed with the right skincare and topical treatments. Treatment depends on the type and severity of your acne, your skin type, and your medical history, and may include:
- Topical creams or gels to reduce inflammation and unblock pores
- Treatments to help control oil production and bacteria
- Advice on skincare routines and avoiding triggers
- Oral medications, when appropriate for more persistent or severe acne
A clinician will review your consultation and recommend the most suitable option for you.
