Call or book online to learn about acne treatments and visit the Northglenn, Colorado or Westminster, Colorado office.
Your skin has pores and tiny openings for hair follicles. Excess bacteria can block the openings of the hair follicles and begin to grow.
If the hair follicle wall breaks, the bacteria can even leak into nearby tissues and form a pustule, or inflammatory acne, which can become infected. Many people, including adults, can experience acne, but it’s more common in adolescents going through hormonal changes during growth.
Acne typically occurs on the face, but it can also appear on the:
Back
Neck
Chest
Shoulders
Upper arms
Acne can be painful, unhygienic, and embarrassing for some people. While the cause isn’t precisely known, hormones and other lifestyle factors, such as diet and medications, are said to play a part in exacerbating or causing this common skin problem.
What acne treatments are available?
Many acne treatment methods are often used in conjunction to achieve optimal outcomes. Possible therapies include:
Topical Creams and gels
These are typically retinoids that work by unblocking pore
Oral antibiotics
Oral antibiotics are sometimes used as an acne treatment to assist in fighting bacteria.
Laser technology
Laser technology treats both acne and acne scarring.
