Acne, also known as blackheads, blemishes, whiteheads, pimples, or zits, is a common skin issue that begins when oil and dead skin cells clog up your pores. It is especially in teenagers and adult women before their menstrual periods. Generally, acne is often mild but occasionally it can be severe with long-term sequelae.

In the majority of individuals, acne often presents as superficial, scattered lesions over the face, neck, shoulders, chest or back. Sometimes, they may be large and deep-seated; known as cystic lesions which have a high risk of getting infected. The associated inflammation typically leads to destruction of surrounding skin tissue and eventually, results in depressed or pitted acne scars.

At Clinic RX, we believe in assessing all acne cases individually to ensure optimum treatment is given. Relevant advice and counselling is administered to alter causative lifestyle factors. In certain cases, a course of antibiotics is prescribed along with various anti-acne medication. Depending on the severity and location of the acne, other treatments may be recommended e.g. PRP, mesotherapy or chemical peeling.
