June is Acne Awareness Month: Let’s Talk About Clearer Skin
At our clinic, we believe that education is just as important as treatment—especially when it comes to something as common and misunderstood as acne. That’s why we’re shining a spotlight on Acne Awareness Month to help you better understand your skin and the support available.
💡 What is Acne?
Acne is a very common skin condition that happens when your hair follicles become clogged with oil and dead skin cells. It can appear in the form of:
Whiteheads
Blackheads
Papules and pustules (pimples)
Cysts or nodules in more severe cases
Oily skin and scarring
Acne doesn’t just affect teenagers—it’s something that can impact anyone at any age. It most commonly appears on the face, chest, back, and shoulders, and can have both physical and emotional effects on self-confidence.
🔍 What Causes Acne?
There are several potential triggers for acne, including:
Hormonal changes – Fluctuations during puberty, menstruation, pregnancy, or stress can all increase oil production.
Comedogenic products – Some skincare or makeup products clog pores, worsening acne.
Diet – High-glycaemic foods and dairy may contribute to breakouts in some individuals.
Touching your face – This can transfer bacteria and oil, leading to further congestion.
🧴 Treatment Options That Can Help
The good news? Acne is treatable, and our clinic offers a wide range of solutions tailored to different skin types and severity levels.
Topical treatments such as salicylic acid, benzoyl peroxide, and retinoids
Prescription options, including antibiotics or hormonal support (available through your GP or dermatologist)
