Acne

Acne is one of the most common skin conditions in the United States, affecting a large portion of people at some stage in their lives. It is also one of the primary reasons individuals visit a dermatologist. Although commonly associated with adolescence, acne can persist or even develop in adulthood.

About the treatment

Acne develops when the skin becomes clogged with excess oil and dead skin cells, leading to inflammation. Certain bacteria can also play a role in the development of acne. These factors can result in whiteheads, blackheads, pimples, or cysts. Acne commonly affects areas such as the face, forehead, chest, upper back, and shoulders. Other risk factors include medications, exposure to industrial products, and pressure from chin straps or tight collars. Hormones and stress can also exacerbate acne. While debated, some people may find that diets high in sugar contribute to worsening acne.
Beyond its physical appearance, acne can also impact self-esteem, leading to feelings of depression or anxiety. At Mount Sinai, we offer a range of treatment options to help manage and address acne.
