Acne
With more than 40 million Americans suffering from acne, it's no wonder why it’s the most common skin condition in the United States.
Research by the American Academy of Dermatology indicates that there are four possible causes to acne:
- Increased oil production
- Increased plugging of the oil ducts
- Increased bacteria
- Increased inflammation that results in the prototypical acne lesion
Ways to minimize acne include taking care of your skin by washing it at least once per day, eating a healthy diet, and using over-the-counter skin care products and cosmetics.
Although acne never truly goes away, it can be controlled with proper medical treatment. Treatments include topical ointments, oral medications, or combination treatment plans set by your dermatologist.
