Acne is the term used to describe blackheads, whiteheads, pimples or any clogged pores that occur on the face or body. Most acne problems occur during the adolescent years, but it can occur before or after the teenage years.
Acne can often play a detrimental role in self-esteem because it can interfere with the natural beauty of facial features. Normally, minor acne will come and go without medical intervention, recurring more frequently between the ages of adolescence and becoming less thereafter. Occasionally, acne can continually cause problems for a person later in life. More severe cases of acne can lead to more serious, permanent scarring.
There are a number of techniques available today to treat acne. Dr. Daoud can recommend habitual changes in a patient’s lifestyle to help reduce the reoccurrence of breakouts. Medications or professional grade skincare may also be recommended to lessen the severity of outbreaks. Advanced laser therapies and chemical peels are also available to treat acne.
