Why You Should See a Dermatologist for Adult Acne Treatment

January 22, 2021 By Olivia Pryor

People tend to think of acne as a problem that primarily affects teenagers. However, not everyone grows out of their acne, and some people don’t even develop acne until they get older – when they become affected due to a medication they’re taking or hormonal changes.

If you have adult acne, don’t assume that it will automatically resolve itself if you wait it out, because it could worsen and cause scars. Let’s talk about what a skilled dermatologist can do for your acne, and where you can go for a skin evaluation and professional treatment that works for you.

A Dermatologist Can Help You Prevent Permanent Acne Scars

Acne develops due to the convergence of natural skin oils and dead skin cells plugging a hair follicle. Bacteria can also be attracted to the area and cause an infection.

Your body’s natural reaction is to produce collagen to prevent or repair damage to the skin. You’ll then notice scarring if your body produces too much or not enough collagen: Not enough collagen can leave a recessed pock mark, and too much collagen can leave a raised mark.

Your dermatologist can provide a topical medication or even an oral tablet medication to help thwart your acne. The medicine chosen will be decided based on your health, your medical history, and even your family’s health history.

Different Types of Acne Warrant Different Acne Treatments

Deep or large acne cysts and nodules are more serious than superficial pimples and blackheads. They can burst and harm the surrounding skin.

Fortunately, an experienced dermatologist can provide you with treatments to prevent skin damage and to stop the acne from developing further.

Receive More Effective Acne Treatment than Over-the-Counter Options

If necessary, your dermatologist can prescribe oral antibiotics to eliminate a bacterial infection that may have developed in your skin. You likely tried over-the-counter treatments with no success, and this is why – because a deep bacterial infection does not respond well simply to soaps, alcohol-based astringents, and other facial cleansers.

Over-the-counter retinol treatments may not be strong enough to treat your acne. Your dermatologist may decide to give you a prescription-strength retinol treatment, which is a derivative of vitamin A. This treatment is ideal for people who have moderate to severe acne.
