Understanding Acne

Acne manifests as pimples or nodules on the skin, commonly afflicting individuals in their 20s and 30s. It occurs when skin pores become obstructed by hair, bacteria, oil, and dead skin cells. Beyond visible pimples, acne may also present as blackheads, whiteheads, or red bumps, potentially leaving lasting scars if left untreated.

Root Causes of Acne

While often viewed as a hygiene issue, acne primarily stems from hormonal imbalances. Androgens, male reproductive hormones, trigger excessive oil production by the sebaceous glands, leading to pore blockages, inflammation, and bacterial growth.

Factors contributing to acne include:

1. Excessive sebum production
2. Follicular blockage due to oil and debris
3. Bacterial proliferation
4. Inflammation

Diagnosis and Treatment

Dr. Parwaaz Matharoo conducts a thorough skin examination during consultations, considering family history and genetic predispositions. Tailored treatment plans may involve topical medications such as benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, glycolic acid, or sulfur. In severe cases, oral medications may be prescribed. The duration of treatment will be determined based on the severity of your acne.

For persistent or severe acne, adjunct therapies may be recommended, including steroid treatments, laser therapy, or chemical peels.
