Acne is never pleasant to deal with, but it’s also true that if left untreated, acne can worsen over time and also lead to additional things that can negatively impact the skin like acne scarring. That’s why no matter what is causing your acne you’re experiencing, it’s crucial to begin treatment as soon as possible. Our board-certified dermatologists and physician assistants have decades of experience successfully treating acne and helping our patients achieve the smooth, unblemished complexions they desire.
Managing Acne At Home:
Before getting into our treatment methods, we wanted to discuss a few simple things that people can try at home to manage their acne symptoms. This includes:
- Cleaning your facial skin with a gentle, non-drying cleanser.
- Resisting scratching, picking at, or touching existing pimples or blemishes.
- Wash your face at night and remove any makeup before going to bed.
- Shampoo your hair more frequently, especially if it is naturally oily.
- Pull or tie your hair back to keep it out of your face.
