Additionally, acne is not simply a cosmetic issue, but a medical condition that may require the help of a healthcare professional.

Acne is more than just an annoyance; it’s a complicated skin problem that many people face. It’s like a puzzle that can involve skin inflammation, excessive sebum/oil production, and a development of a bacterial infection. Understanding the manifestations helps us target the key gates of this widespread disease.

CABTREO is proven to treat both inflammatory and noninflammatory acne

Whiteheads and blackheads, often referred to as noninflammatory acne, can occur when there’s an excess production of oil (sebum) in your skin which blocks your hair follicles. This creates the characteristic light and dark bumps.

Inflammatory acne arises when an overgrowth of skin bacteria is triggered by clogged pores, leading to inflammation. This presents as small, pinkish bumps called papules and pus-filled lesions, known as pustules. The result is red and swollen acne that can leave lasting scars even after the acne itself has subsided.

What can I do right now to help manage my acne?

Having acne may feel like a frustrating experience, which is why it is always important to ask your doctor about treatment that’s right for you.

Washing your face regularly aids in overall skin health and manages acne by controlling oil and preventing comedone formations. However, it is important to remember that you may need additional treatment from your doctor.
