Acne Vulgaris
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Acne vulgaris is a very common skin condition that appears when the follicles become clogged with oil and dead cells, promoting the formation of pimples, blackheads, and, at times, deeper lesions.
Where it usually appears: Face, back, shoulders, and chest, frequently during adolescence, although also in adulthood.
Contributing factors: Hormonal changes, family predisposition, certain cosmetic products, and skin care.
Which specialist treats it? The dermatologist is the appropriate professional to evaluate the type of acne and guide skin care; in minors a pediatric dermatologist may take part. If acne worries you, bothers you, or leaves marks, scheduling a dermatology consultation is a good decision.
