What is it?
Adolescent acne is a common skin condition that develops during the teenage years due to hormonal changes associated with puberty. It appears as blackheads, whiteheads, pimples, pustules, or painful inflamed acne on the face, chest, back, and shoulders. Increased oil production, clogged pores, and bacterial growth contribute to acne during adolescence. If not treated early, it can lead to acne marks, pigmentation, and scarring.
How it works
At Claire Derma, treatment of adolescent acne focuses on controlling active breakouts, balancing oil production, and preventing long-term skin damage. The dermatologist evaluates acne severity, skin type, lifestyle factors, and hormonal influences. Treatment may include prescription topical treatments, oral medications when required, chemical peels, and personalized skincare routines suitable for teenage skin.
