About acne
Acne is a common skin condition that happens when pores become blocked with oil and dead skin. This can lead to blackheads, whiteheads, or inflamed pimples, usually on the face, chest, or back. It often starts during puberty but can continue into adulthood. While acne isn’t dangerous, it can be frustrating, uncomfortable, and affect your confidence. The good news is, with the right support, it can be managed effectively.

Patient Information - Acne
Looking after your skin at home
- Wash your face gently twice a day with a mild, soap-free cleanser.
- Don’t pick or squeeze pimples – it can lead to scarring.
- Use oil-free moisturiser and sunscreen daily.
-
Avoid over-washing or using harsh scrubs that can irritate your skin.
What to expect from treatment
- You may begin to see changes within 6 to 8 weeks.
- Some irritation or dryness is normal when starting new treatments.
- Stick with your plan – acne treatment takes time to work.
When to come back
We recommend a follow-up at 3 months to check your progress. Come back sooner if things get worse or you have any concerns.
