Acne Treatment In Fort Lauderdale, Fl

What is Acne?

Acne is the most common inflammatory skin condition in the world. In America alone, 40 to 50 million people of all ages are suffering from acne. Common among adolescents and teenagers, acne forms from dead skin cell buildup, bacteria, and hormonal changes.

The acne may take various visible forms on the skin. Blackheads, whiteheads, pustules, and cysts may form on any area of the skin but are commonly seen on the forehead, cheeks, jawline, back, chest, and shoulders. Bacteria thrive on oils within the skin, or sebum, causing inflammation, pain, redness, and swelling.
