Guilford Dermatology: Your Destination for Acne Treatment
Expert Care for Acne
Acne is the most prevalent inflammatory skin condition globally, affecting millions. In the United States alone, an estimated 40 to 50 million individuals experience acne across various age groups. While commonly seen in teenagers and young adults, acne can affect anyone and arises from a combination of factors, including hormonal fluctuations, dead skin cell accumulation, and bacterial growth.
At Guilford Dermatology, we understand that treatment plans must be customized to address the underlying causes of acne, its severity, and the specific concerns of each patient. Dr. Villacorta will guide you in determining the most effective treatment strategy during your consultation.
What is
Acne?
Acne manifests in different forms on the skin, including blackheads, whiteheads, pustules, and cysts. These lesions can appear on various body parts, with the forehead, cheeks, jawline, back, chest, and shoulders being the most common areas. The presence of bacteria on the skin, coupled with excess oil production (sebum), leads to inflammation, pain, redness, and swelling.
