Active Acne

Overview

Acne vulgaris is so named because of its profound effect. This is not just a benign disease affecting adolescents. Extensive active acne can involve pustules and keloid scars which can eventually lead to permanent scarring and pigment alteration. Acne can form not only on our face, but also chest, back, arms, and buttocks.

Disfiguring acne poses a major social barrier, affecting self-esteem and mood. Active acne provides the opportunity to intervene and prevent acne scarring and pigment. The most common causes of acne include: Bacteria, Hormonal changes, Diet, Stress, and Clogged hair follicles among others
