What is acne?

Acne is a skin condition that occurs when hair follicles become clogged with oil, dead skin cells, and bacteria. It can cause a range of symptoms, from mild to severe, including pimples, blackheads, whiteheads, and cysts.

The symptoms of adult acne can range from mild to severe. Common symptoms include whiteheads and blackheads, red bumps, and larger pus-filled pimples.

Acne can be caused by hormonal changes, diet, and skin care products, among other factors.

  • Mild acne: Characterized by occasional pimples or blackheads.
  • Moderate acne: Involves more frequent pimples and possibly some cysts.
  • Severe acne: Includes widespread pimples, cysts, and potentially significant scarring.

Our board-certified doctors diagnose acne through a virtual consultation, examining your skin and discussing your medical history to determine the best course of treatment.

Our online acne treatment provides personalized care from licensed, board-certified doctors. We offer a range of effective treatments to help you manage your acne.

  1. Topical treatments: Creams or gels applied directly to the skin to reduce acne.
  2. Oral antibiotics: Medications taken by mouth to reduce bacteria and inflammation.
  3. Hormonal treatments: For acne related to hormonal imbalances.
  4. Isotretinoin: For severe acne that hasn't responded to other treatments.

Our online acne doctors can prescribe a variety of effective treatments, including topical retinoids, benzoyl peroxide, antibiotics, hormonal treatments, and isotretinoin*.

*Note: Isotretinoin is for severe acne that hasn't responded to other treatments. Due to regulatory requirements, treatment with Isotretinoin may require additional steps and is subject to provider discretion.

To help manage acne, follow these steps:

  1. Rinse with lukewarm water.
  2. Wash your skin as soon as possible after sweating.
  3. Keep your hands off your face.
  4. Use non-comedogenic products that won't clog pores.
  5. Follow your doctor's recommended treatment plan.
