Acne is the term for plugged pores (blackheads and whiteheads), pimples, and even deeper lumps (cysts or nodules) that occur on the face, neck, chest, back, shoulders and the upper arms. Acne affects most teenagers to some extent. However, the disease is not restricted to any age group; adults in their 20s - even into their 40s - can get acne. While not a life threatening condition, acne can be upsetting and disfiguring. When severe, acne can lead to serious and permanent scarring. Even less severe cases can lead to scarring. To avoid acne scarring, treating acne early is important.
There are many treatments for moderate acne - creams, washes, medications, light treatments, and laser treatments. One such treatment is BLU Light Photodynamic Therapy. It is a safe light treatment that can kill the acne-causing bacteria in your skin. At Shideler Dermatology, we offer the Blu Light therapy, as well as other treatments.
