Acne
outbreaks should be treated
promptly to reduce
discomfort and risk of
scarring. Early treatment
will usually moderate the
severity of acne incidents
and so limit permanent scar
damage and associated
psychological distress.
Acne treatment is
straightforward and several
options are available depending
on severity. Some treatments
for severe acne have side
effects and are available only
on prescription under medical
supervision.
The underlying causes
and triggers of acne are
complex functions of
overall body chemistry - and
still imperfectly understood
even by researchers. Common
factors observed include
hormonal changes/imbalances and
stress.
