Synopsis
Acne is the most common skin condition and affects up to 50 million Americans every year. Though acne is commonly associated with the teenage years, it’s a problem that can continue to rear its ugly head well into adulthood. While acne can be troublesome and can take a toll on a person’s self-esteem, dermatologists say it’s a treatable condition. It just takes time and consistency. In this episode of San Diego Health, host Susan Taylor and guest Sophia Akhiyat, MD, a Scripps Clinic dermatologist, discuss the different types of acne and their causes. Dr. Akhiyat also outlines different acne treatment options, ranging from over-the-counter topical creams to prescription medication to dermatologist-provided chemical peels and laser therapy.
