Can it be treated?
Many effective acne treatments are available, but acne can be stubborn. If you suffer from acne, you may feel that these pimples and bumps are healing slowly, and that as soon as you get rid of them, others begin to form. Severe acne can cause emotional distress for many people. It can also lead to scarring. The earlier you start treatment, the lower your risk of such problems, but what matters is that you do acne treatment at any time of life.
What Causes Acne?
Acne is a skin condition that occurs when your hair follicles become blocked by accumulations of oil and dead skin cells. It can cause whiteheads, blackheads or pimples, and most often appears on the face, forehead, chest, upper back and shoulders. Acne is very common amongst teenagers, but it does affect people of all ages.

It starts with your online doctor visit. Your doctor needs to know about your general health and your skincare concerns.
They also need an unedited photo of you and your ID (that shows your picture and birthdate) so they know who they will be helping. A photo of your face is also helpful to evaluate your skin. They review everything, determine if you’re a candidate for telemedicine, and whether treatment is right for you, and if so, they will send you a personalized treatment plan.
