A common inflammatory skin condition that occurs when pores become clogged, resulting in whiteheads, blackheads, cysts or red bumps.
What is it?
At Dermatologists of Greater Columbus, acne is among the most frequently treated conditions. Acne develops when the skin gets blocked with oil, dead skin cells, or bacteria, leading to inflamed, red or pus-filled bumps on the skin's surface. Factors like hormonal fluctuations, genetics, and certain drugs can also trigger acne. These bumps generally appear on the face, neck, chest, and back, varying from mild to severe.
Our dermatologists, serving areas including Dublin, Columbus, Canal Winchester, Urbana, Circleville, Washington Courthouse, Grove City and Marysville, Ohio, are experienced in developing comprehensive and personalized treatment plans for acne.
