Getting to the root cause of your acne helps us guide you toward the best treatment. A variety of underlying factors can trigger acne.
For various reasons, sometimes sebaceous glands produce too much oil.
The buildup of oil, dead skin cells, or makeup can block pores, leading to acne lesions.
Excess oil can feed bacteria, leading to inflammation and infection.
Hormonal fluctuations at any life stage can increase oil (sebum) production.
This refers to acne lesions that do not involve inflammation or bacterial infection. The two main types of noninflammatory acne are:
This condition surfaces when bacteria get trapped in your pores, causing pimples to become red, swollen, or infected. Inflammatory acne takes the form of:
If you’ve followed a consistent skincare routine using over-the-counter products for 4 to 6 weeks but are still battling acne, it’s time to visit Sutton Dermatology for acne treatment. Indications that you need medical treatment include:
Seeking treatment early helps prevent the spread of infection, minimizes potential scarring, and reduces feelings of self-consciousness about your skin’s appearance. During your initial visit, we’ll assess your skin, identify the root cause of your acne, and develop a personalized treatment plan to help you achieve clearer, healthier skin.
If you’re ready to schedule an appointment with our team of board-certified dermatologists, physician assistants, or nurse practitioners, book an appointment online or call us at (402) 484-9009. You’re just a click or call away from clearer skin and renewed self-confidence!
Different types and degrees of acne warrant various interventions. Our board-certified dermatologists and nationally trained physician assistants assess your specific concerns before recommending an acne treatment approach that best aligns with your needs and concerns.
It’s important to wash twice daily with a mild skin cleanser and shower after workouts. We advise against harsher cleansers because they may not interact positively with topical acne medications. Our providers will recommend specific anti-acne cleansers as part of your overall treatment plan.
Proper hydration and a nutritious diet contribute to healthier skin and better overall health. It’s helpful to identify and avoid foods that contribute to breakouts and steer clear of supplements containing hormone-stimulating agents.
Prescription topical medications containing ingredients like vitamin A, benzoyl peroxide, and antibiotics help unclog pores, reduce oil, and kill bacteria. These products may cause dryness or irritation, so it’s essential to follow our protocols to minimize side effects.
Oral antibiotics may benefit patients battling severe acne by getting symptoms under control before transitioning to topical therapies. For highly severe cases, we may prescribe a 6-month prescription of isotretinoin.
While it can be tempting to pick, scratch, pop, or squeeze pimples, we strongly advise against it! The “DIY” approach puts you at greater risk for inflammation, hyperpigmentation, and scarring. Instead, allow our providers to extract your blackheads and whiteheads safely. We may use corticosteroid injections to treat large red bumps (nodules or cysts).
Skin treatments such as microdermabrasion or chemical peels with salicylic acid or glycolic acid also reduce acne symptoms and generate healthy, new skin.
Deep acne cysts and nodules can leave their mark on your skin. Picking at blackheads, whiteheads, and pimples causes further inflammation, potentially leading to scarring.
Ice pick scars are narrow holes caused by an infected pimple. Rolling scars are uneven, sloping depressions, and boxcar scars are pitted and round.
After your blemishes clear, we can help ensure you have no lingering reminders of past breakouts! Our dermatologists offer various effective laser and energy treatments to diminish acne scars.
Repairs tough acne scars by penetrating damaged skin layers and rebuilding healthy, new skin.
Breaks apart acne scars using heat energy for healthy skin repair.
Sloughs off acne scars and other imperfections to reveal smoother, healthier skin.
Dermatologists have special expertise in treating different types of acne, including the ability to prescribe antibiotics. We can also recommend and perform skin treatments and therapies that help diminish visible acne scarring. Remember, the “DIY” pimple-popping method can increase your risk of inflammation and scarring.
If left untreated, acne can leave permanent scars—and mar your self-esteem! The earlier you seek treatment, the sooner we can help you gain control over acne and improve your quality of life.
Consistency and patience are key to achieving blemish-free skin with acne treatment. It typically takes 2 to 3 months to see visibly clearer skin, so it’s essential to stick with your routine and follow up with your provider so that we can monitor your progress and adjust treatment as needed.
