What causes acne?
Acne develops when hair follicles become blocked with oil and dead skin cells. Hormonal changes, bacteria, and genetics all play a role. It affects people of all ages, not just teenagers.
-
What prescription treatments are available for acne?
Options include topical treatments such as tretinoin, benzoyl peroxide, and antibiotic creams, as well as oral antibiotics and hormonal treatments for suitable individuals.
-
How long does it take for acne treatment to work?
Most treatments take six to eight weeks to show noticeable improvement. It is important to continue treatment even if you do not see immediate results.
-
Can acne cause permanent scarring?
Yes. Moderate to severe acne can leave permanent scarring if left untreated. Starting effective treatment early reduces the risk of long-term skin damage.
-
Are prescription acne treatments safe long-term?
Many topical acne treatments are safe for long-term use. Oral antibiotics are usually prescribed for a maximum of three months. Your pharmacist will review your treatment regularly.
