​Acne Treatments Questions and Answers 

---

What causes acne?

Sadly, acne isn’t something you outgrow in your teenage years. It can certainly linger into adulthood or come back at any time. Acne occurs when your hair follicles are clogged by oil, dead skin cells, and debris. You can also develop acne breakouts if bacteria enter your pores.
In any case, your risk of developing acne is higher due to:
​

• Hormonal fluctuations, which is common for pregnant women
• Taking certain types of medications, including corticosteroids
• Family history of acne

Acne can also be triggered or worsened by stress or poor diet, like if you consume a lot of refined carbohydrates.

Do I need treatment for acne?

Even though acne isn’t really a major medical concern, it can become severe enough where breakouts are painful. Acne can also permanently damage your skin, which can lead to scarring. It’s important to come to FSA Vein for an acne evaluation if:

• Over-the-counter remedies aren’t effective for you
• You’re already developing acne scars
• You develop painful bumps or cysts

​
Dr. Yalamanchili and his team at FSA Vein offer plenty of solutions for treating acne and even improving the appearance of acne scars, so you can restore your healthier skin. ​
