Acne

A common inflammatory skin condition that occurs when pores become clogged, resulting in whiteheads, blackheads, cysts or red bumps.

What is it?

Acne is a prevalent condition we treat at Dermatologists of Southwest Ohio. It develops when the skin gets blocked with oil, dead skin cells or bacteria, leading to inflamed, red or pus-filled bumps on the skin. Changes in hormones, genetics and specific medications can contribute to acne.


These bumps typically appear on the face, neck, chest and back and can vary from mild to severe. Our dermatologists in Batavia, Beavercreek, Bridgetown, Cincinnati, Dayton, Dent, Greenville, Hillsboro, Kettering, Mason, Montgomery, Oxford, Troy, West Chester and Wilmington, Ohio are well-equipped to manage this common condition.

How is it treated?

Acne, though not a severe ailment, can significantly impact your self-confidence. Our board-certified, physician-lead teams employ a variety of medical and cosmetic treatments to help you achieve your skincare goals - from prescribed topicals, over-the-counter topicals, oral prescriptions and photodynamic therapy (PDT) to chemical peels, microdermabrasion and laser therapy. Regardless of the treatment, rest assured our team can effectively manage your acne and prevent future outbreaks. Schedule an appointment today to start on the path to clear, healthy skin.
