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.
