When should you see a dermatologist of your acne ?
While acne doesn’t pose any serious health risks, the embarrassment and emotional stress of acne and acne scars can lead to feelings of anxiety and depression. It is best to see a dermatologist when at home acne treatments just aren’t working anymore.
When Acne are developed
Acne usually develops during the teenage years and that is due to changing hormone levels.
Androgenic hormones
Androgenic hormones increase the size of the skin’s oil glands and cause more oil production. There are other times during a person’s life when hormone changes occur and may cause someone to develop acne, such as pregnancy in women.
Diet & Life Style
We know that acne tends to run in families. Diet and lifestyle choices also can affect someone’s tendency to develop acne. Stress, use of oily or greasy personal care products, air pollution, high humidity, certain medications (lithium, corticosteroids, testosterone, some birth control pills, just to name a few), and, of course, fluctuating hormone levels all can cause acne.
Squeezing acne pimples
There are some things you can do to help with acne. Squeezing acne pimples makes acne worse, so keeping your hands off your face is crucial. Using non-comedogenic cleansers and moisturizers when taking care of your skin can help manage acne.

What is Acne?
Acne is the most common skin disorder seen in dermatology offices across the US. According to the American Academy of Dermatology, acne affects about 85% of teenagers. While acne is usually thought of as a skin problem for teenagers, it is estimated that 15% of adults are still affected by acne into their 30’s and 40’s. So what causes someone to get acne and what kinds of acne treatments are available? (Hint: there are lots of acne treatments available and most are covered by insurance).
What causes acne?
Acne occurs when the sebaceous glands in your skin become clogged. This happens when the oil (sebum) produced in the sebaceous glands moves up the hair follicles and mixes with dead skin cells. When the hair follicles become clogged, bacteria on the skin grows inside the follicles, leading to inflammation, pimples, and breakouts. Your face, neck, chest, upper arms, and upper back are very susceptible to acne where there is a large concentration of sebaceous glands.
