When To See a Dermatologist for Your Acne

Acne is one of the most common conditions that people deal with and it can be frustrating to struggle with. Acne can make you self-conscious about how you look and you may feel like you need to cover your skin up. Acne can sometimes go away on its own, but sometimes you need to seek out professional help to get the clear skin that you’re looking for. Dr. Daniel Sherer and Dr. Todd Coven at Long Island Medical & Cosmetic Dermatology in Huntington and Hicksville, NY, and serving Syosset and Planview, NY, can explain when to see a dermatologist for help with acne and how they can help.

When to See a Dermatologist for Help with Acne

Most people deal with acne at some point in their life, but often don’t think to seek out help. If you’re constantly dealing with acne, you may want to consider how our dermatologist can help clear up your skin and help you regain your confidence.

Acne is caused by blockages in the pores and it can appear as whiteheads or blackheads or as red pustules or papules. It’s important to never pick at your acne so that you can avoid scarring. Often, you may feel the need to touch your acne if it’s causing you pain, but that can increase your chance of infection and actually make your acne worse.

If you’re dealing with acne on a regular basis, it might be time to talk to your dermatologist to create a treatment plan. You may need to try multiple types of treatment and combine different treatments to get the best results possible.
