What Is Acne?
Acne is a common inflammatory skin condition that occurs when hair follicles become clogged with oil, dead skin cells, and bacteria. It often appears on the face, chest, back, and shoulders and can range from blackheads and whiteheads to deeper, painful cysts and nodules. Hormonal changes, stress, genetics, and certain skincare products can also contribute to breakouts. While often associated with adolescence, acne affects adults as well. At Curated Dermatology, we offer customized solutions to treat acne at every level.
Common Signs & Symptoms of Acne:
- Blackheads (open comedones)
- Whiteheads (closed comedones)
- Papules (small, red, tender bumps)
- Pustules (pimples with white or yellow pus)
- Cysts (deep, painful lumps under the skin)
- Nodules (large, solid, inflamed bumps)
- Post-inflammatory redness or dark spots
- Scarring from previous breakouts
The Long-Term Impact of Untreated Acne
When left untreated, acne can do more than just affect your appearance; it can leave lasting physical and emotional marks. Persistent breakouts may lead to permanent scarring, uneven skin texture, and pigmentation changes. Over time, these effects can impact your confidence and quality of life, especially when flare-ups become chronic or resistant to over-the-counter treatments. That’s why we offer timely, expert acne treatment Bridgewater residents can rely on.
If not properly managed, acne may result in:
- Permanent acne scars, including pitted or raised marks
- Dark spots or discoloration (post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation)
- Uneven skin texture
- Worsening breakouts over time
- Reduced self-confidence and increased anxiety
- Delayed response to treatment due to progression
How Is Acne Managed & Treated?
At Curated Dermatology, your acne treatment begins with a personalized consultation. Dr. Patel will take the time to thoroughly evaluate your skin, lifestyle, medical history, and the specific type and severity of your acne. She’ll ask thoughtful questions, examine any underlying triggers, like hormonal shifts or skincare habits, and carefully assess for signs of inflammation, scarring, or pigmentation changes. This ensures every detail is considered before a plan is created.
Once your skin is evaluated, Dr. Patel will curate a treatment plan. Acne management often requires a layered strategy that evolves over time. Dr. Patel may recommend a combination of topical therapies, oral medications, or in-office treatments, depending on your goals and the nature of your breakouts. The focus is always on long-term skin health: calming active inflammation, preventing new blemishes, and minimizing the risk of scarring.
