Acne is more likely to occur in people with oily skin and can occur in any part of the body that contains tiny hair follicles and skin pores (except palms of the hands and soles of the feet). Acne mostly occurs anywhere on the face and upper body areas like back, chest, shoulders. The areas contain many pores, and the overproduction of oil makes the skin more oily and leads to acne production.

The skin doctor first analyses the skin condition and then determines the type of acne affecting the skin. Various effective treatments that help to treat acne are:

• Topical creams
• Antibacterial creams
• Oral antibiotics
• Chemical peels
• Manual extraction
• Laser treatment
• Carbon laser peel
• Hydrafacial MD

Step 2: Never pop up the pimples, this can cause pushing of the bacteria further down into the skin and can worsen blemishes and causes scarring.

Step 3: It is always recommended to apply moisturizer and sunscreen.

Step 4: Stay hydrated, eat a healthy and nutritious diet, and have sufficient sleep.
