Understanding acne and spots
Acne occurs when sebaceous glands in your skin produce too much natural oil (sebum). This sebum mixes with dead skin cells and blocks hair follicles which are tiny holes in the skin. Bacteria can then infect the blocked follicles causing spots and cysts. There are many causes behind acne including puberty, hormones, genetics, medications, diet and smoking. Adult acne is more common in women due to hormonal factors and acne also runs in families.
Not all spots are acne
At Dr Nicole Dermatology, we understand that some spots are not caused by acne and should therefore be treated in a different way. Rosacea, skin infections, viruses, skin allergies and other health conditions can all be the underlying cause of spots. Determining the causes of acne and spots is at the heart of your consultation and is just one of the reasons why it is so important to get your skin assessed by a dermatology specialist. Dr Nicole will assess your skin and determine any health or lifestyle factors that may contribute to your condition. She will then develop an individualised treatment programme designed just for you and talk through it in detail. You will have the chance to ask questions and voice any concerns – we will always provide professional, honest and comprehensive answers.
