Acne is a skin condition that affects the oil glands at the base of hair follicles. These glands produce an oily substance known as sebum. When the glands produce too much sebum, it can clog the follicles, leading to the growth of bacteria known as Propionibacterium acnes. This can result in whiteheads, blackheads, and various forms of pimples. Acne is most common among teenagers, but it can affect people of all ages.
Treatment for acne typically involves a combination of over-the-counter or prescription medications and lifestyle changes. The choice of treatment depends on the severity and persistence of acne, as well as the individual’s response to previous treatments. Mild cases may be treated with topical medications, while more severe cases may require oral medications. In addition, it’s important to maintain good skin hygiene and a balanced diet to help control acne.

Many skin conditions can be diagnosed and treated through teledermatology, including acne, eczema, psoriasis, and rashes. If we feel you need to have an in-person visit, we will recommend you to our network of dermatology providers.
Research has shown that teledermatology is generally as effective as in-person dermatology care for many skin conditions. However, there may be some limitations to what can be diagnosed and treated through teledermatology, and some patients may still require in-person care for more complex or severe conditions. If we feel you need to have an in-person visit, we will recommend you to our network of dermatology providers.
