A common inflammatory skin condition that occurs when pores become clogged, resulting in whiteheads, blackheads, cysts or red bumps.
What is it?
Acne is one of the most prevalent skin conditions in the United States and one of the most common conditions treated by our medical providers at Chapel Hill Dermatology.
Ance develops when the skin's pores get blocked with oil, dead skin cells or bacteria, resulting in inflamed, red or pus-filled swellings on the skin's surface. Fluctuations in hormones, genetic factors and some medications can also trigger these breakouts. Acne typically occurs on the face, neck, chest and back, and the severity can vary from mild to severe. Our board-certified dermatologists in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, are highly experienced in treating this common condition.
