Acne
Description
Acne is a disorder of the oil-producing skin glands. It commonly occurs due to hormonal changes at puberty. The skin becomes greasy and white and black heads form.
Our Advice
Wash regularly with an anti-bacterial wash.
Dry thoroughly with a clean rough towel.
Avoid using lots of greasy make-up.
Do not squeeze the spots.
Do not expect acne to go away overnight, it may take a couple of months to improve.
If symptoms do not improve in 3 months, ask our pharmacist for advice.
