ACNE FAQ

Will my acne ever go away?

For many people, treatment of acne is for most of their lifetime, but current therapies should make maintenance of clear skin with only an occasional blemish a possibility for most acne patients.

When should I see a dermatologist for acne treatments?

A visit to the dermatologist is recommended even for mild acne if it is not responding to over-the-counter acne treatments.

Certainly, if acne is progressing with lots of pustules and cysts, then a visit to a dermatologist is critical to get the acne under control before scarring occurs. Treat early to prevent worsening of acne and to prevent scarring and blemishes.

Why do some adults have acne?

Acne commonly occurs in adult women in fluctuation with menstrual cycles – this can be blamed on hormones and will likely respond well to hormone type treatment (birth control pill or spironolactone).

Hormonal types of IUD can cause acne due to excessive androgen levels delivered by the IUD (Mirena). Some people genetically are just prone to a lifetime of excessive oil that leads to acne. Occlusive clothing and gear can also cause acne breakouts and folliculitis.

Why does acne appear most often in teenagers?

Acne begins to show up during teenage years and is most common in teenagers due to higher levels of hormones which lead to oil production and inflammation and acne.

Does acne mean I’m not keeping my face clean enough?

No, acne is caused by a combination of skin cells sticking together clogging pores, excess oil production, overgrowth of skin bacteria and inflammation. Washing your face with a gentle cleanser or medicated/active ingredient cleanser twice daily however, is an essential part of your acne treatment.

Also, you may benefit from a cleansing pad or wipe before and after a workout to clear skin of dead skin cells, oil and dirt before sweating and/or wearing gear that occludes the skin

Should I stop wearing makeup if I have acne?

No, you can still wear makeup but follow these guidelines:
• Read labels! Look for “oil-free”, “won’t clog pores”, or “non-comedogenic” on the label.
• Remove makeup nightly and before workouts
• Clean makeup brushes frequently
• Use your acne topical skin treatments under makeup

Can what I eat cause breakouts?

A healthy balanced diet is ideal for healthy skin and body. Foods that have a high glycemic index – processed foods (chips), fast food, potatoes, bakery items (white breads, cakes), sweet cereal, sugary sodas and drinks – have been shown to worsen acne. Also all cow’s milk can worsen acne.
