Acne spots, also known as acne lesions or breakouts, are a common skin condition characterised by pimples, blackheads, whiteheads, and cysts.
They occur when hair follicles become clogged with oil, dead skin cells, and bacteria.
The result? Inflamed and often painful spots that have the potential to leave behind marks and scars.
Whiteheads are closed clogged pores that appear as small, white bumps on the skin. Blackheads, on the other hand, are open clogged pores that turn dark due to oxidation. Papules are small, red, inflamed bumps that can be tender to the touch.

Compile a list of any current medications or skincare products you are using, as some treatments may interact with acne medications. Consider any lifestyle factors that may affect your acne, such as diet, stress levels, and sleep patterns. Try to avoid introducing new skincare products or treatments right before your appointment to prevent confusion about what is affecting your skin.
Share your acne history, including when it started, the treatments you have tried, and what has or has not worked. Be specific about the type of acne you are experiencing (e.g., cystic, blackheads, whiteheads) and any related symptoms. The practitioner will examine your skin to assess the type and severity of your acne.
Based on the examination, the practitioner will diagnose your acne and recommend suitable treatments. They will propose a treatment plan, which may include prescription medications, over-the-counter products, or procedures. You will receive detailed instructions on how to use any prescribed treatments or products.
