Acne
Facing breakouts? Clearer skin ahead.
Acne is a common skin condition that occurs when hair follicles become clogged with oil and dead skin cells, leading to whiteheads, blackheads, pimples, and sometimes cysts. It most frequently affects the face, forehead, chest, upper back, and shoulders. While acne is most prevalent during puberty, it can occur at any age and may be influenced by factors such as hormones, diet, stress, and certain medications. Effective treatment varies depending on the severity and type of acne and may include topical treatments, oral medications, lifestyle modifications, and professional dermatological procedures.
Mahalo allows you to consult with healthcare providers specialized in dermatology. Through virtual consultations, you can discuss your acne concerns, receive a diagnosis, and explore personalized treatment options to manage and reduce acne outbreaks, enhancing your skin health and confidence, all from the privacy of your home.
Precautions
- Gently cleanse your face twice a day with a mild, non-comedogenic cleanser to remove excess oil and dirt. Avoid harsh scrubbing, which can irritate the skin further.
- Apply a spot treatment containing ingredients like salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide to the affected areas. These ingredients help reduce inflammation and clear clogged pores.
- Make a homemade mask using natural ingredients such as honey or a mixture of turmeric and yogurt, which have anti-inflammatory properties. Apply to the affected area for about 10-15 minutes before washing off with warm water.
Common Medications
- Topical retinoids such as Tretinoin (Retin-A), Adapalene (Differin), or Tazarotene (Tazorac)
- Oral antibiotics such as Doxycycline, Minocycline, or Erythromycin
- Oral isotretinoin (Accutane) - for severe, cystic acne resistant to other treatments
