Acne treatment in Magdalena Contreras

Acne is a skin condition that arises when the follicles become clogged with oil and dead cells, giving rise to pimples, blackheads, and, at times, deeper lesions. It is very common during adolescence, although it can also appear in adulthood.

Where and how it appears:

• Face, back, and chest frequently
• Blackheads, red pimples, or cysts
• Possible marks if the lesions are manipulated

Contributing factors: Hormonal changes, family predisposition, and certain skin care habits can play a part in its appearance.

Which specialist treats it? The dermatologist is the appropriate professional to evaluate the type of acne and guide care, and the endocrinologist or the nutritionist may join in in particular cases. A timely consultation helps care for the skin and prevent scars.
