Acne
Acne is a very common skin problem in teenagers and adults that starts with black and whiteheads, pimples and cysts. Acne usually appears on the face, neck, back, chest, and shoulders, can be a source of significant emotional distress, and in severe cases can lead to permanent scarring. Contrary to popular belief, acne is generally not due to poor hygiene or diet. Depending on the severity of the acne, we use various combinations of topical and oral medicines, hormonal treatments, non-invasive procedures, and, when necessary, isotretinoin (Accutane) to customize an individual treatment plan for every patient.
