Understanding Acne
Acne is a frequent skin condition in which hair follicles become blocked with oil and dead skin, causing spots, blackheads and sometimes painful lumps.
What Can Cause Acne
Hormones, oil production, skin bacteria and family history are the main factors. On holiday, heat, sweat, sunscreen or make-up that block pores and rubbing from straps can trigger flare-ups.
Typical Symptoms
- Marks or scarring after spots heal
- Blackheads and whiteheads
- Deeper painful lumps or cysts
- Oily skin
Avoiding Acne on Holiday
Cleanse gently, use oil-free products, avoid squeezing spots and keep sweat and hair away from the skin in hot weather.
Care and Treatment for Acne
Using video or photos the doctor assesses the skin, recommends a care routine, prescribes topical or oral treatment if suitable and advises when a dermatologist is the better option. Treatment can involve topical treatments such as benzoyl peroxide, retinoids or topical antibiotics, and sometimes oral antibiotics.
- Choose oil-free, non-comedogenic sunscreen and cosmetics
- Rinse off sweat and sunscreen after swimming
- Avoid squeezing spots, which can scar
- Wash gently twice a day with a mild cleanser
