Acne Treatments San Antonio

Acne is an inflammatory skin condition of the oil-producing sebaceous glands. Symptoms can include red bumps (papules), pustules, blackheads and whiteheads. When the pores of the skin become clogged with too much oil and bacteria, and the outer layers of the skin don’t turn over (exfoliate) on a regular basis. Acne can be a very challenging skin problem to correct for many people.

Acne can manifest at any time in life, although it is most apparent in the teen years and times of hormonal changes. Adult acne can be seen in both men and women. Acne may be hereditary, but can also be triggered by birth control pills, hormonal changes, stress, hair and cosmetic products, humidity, sweating, and even friction from headbands, hats, and backpacks.
