Gain Control of Your Acne

Boy with acne on skin

With proper treatment in its early stages, acne can usually be dealt with successfully and controlled before it leads to scarring and other skin damage. Luckily, an experienced dermatologist who specializes in treating conditions that affect the skin can help heal, prevent and control your acne.  

Preventing and Treating Acne

There are a myriad of face washes and products sold for the treatment of acne, many without any proven effects. That’s why visiting your dermatologist is the best way to find an acne treatment that will be the most appropriate and most effective for your acne. 

There are many simple ways to prevent and control mild cases of acne from home, including:

  • Wash your face gently with warm water and soap each day
  • Avoid excess washing and harsh scrubbing as this will only irritate your acne and lead to dry skin
  • Avoid touching your face as the oils from your hands can clog your pores 
  • Do not pop or pick at acne lesions; it will only aggravate your skin more
  • Remove makeup before bed and avoid wearing heavy makeup

Remember, acne can’t be cured overnight, as it takes time for acne to heal. For severe cases of acne or when self-care techniques aren’t effective, visit your dermatologist. 

When to See Your Dermatologist

Waiting for acne to disappear on its own can be aggravating, lead to permanent scarring and even cause severe depression. In fact, severe cases of acne may only get worse and lead to additional skin damage. Advanced acne treatments from your dermatologist can help heal existing acne, stop new lesions from forming, prevent scarring and minimize the embarrassment and emotional stress caused by this condition. 

The severity of acne and the extent of treatment will vary for each patient. If you are one of the millions of Americans that suffer from this skin condition, don’t put off treatment. See your dermatologist for professional treatment and care right away for blemish-free skin.
