Acne

Acne is a skin condition in which your pores or hair follicles become clogged with oil and dead skin cells. These clogged pores can appear on your face, neck, back, chest and shoulders. There are different levels of severity, which has to do with how clogged the pores are and how many clogged pores you have. For example:

acne
  • Mild acne
    is the most common. It includes blackheads and whiteheads. If you only have a few clogged pores or they’re in an isolated spot, your acne is “mild.”
  • Moderate acne
    acne means you have more pimples than blackheads or whiteheads. You may notice that some of your pimples have red skin or inflammation around them
  • Severe acne
    is when you have nothing but pimples, both those that are small bumps and those that are yellowish and filled with pus. Additionally, severe acne can include nodules or cysts.

Because hormones may play a role, acne is most common among teens during puberty, when hormones increase in both boys and girls. There are three general options for treating acne:

  • Topical medications are often the first line of defense. Your NYC skin doctor can recommend over-the-counter lotions or creams. A prescription topical medicine is another option. Topical treatments typically contain retinoids, antibiotics or dapsone.
  • Oral medications can be effective, especially when your acne isn’t responding to topical medications. Your choices include antibiotics to control inflammation and bacteria growth, combined oral contraceptives, an anti-androgen agent or the drug isotretinoin.
  • Other therapies may be right for you: Light therapy, Chemical peels, Steroid injections, Soft tissue fillers, Dermabrasion, Laser resurfacing.

The general rule of thumb is that the earlier you start treatment, the less likely you are to have scars. There are many over-the-counter face washes and skin treatments that can help treat acne, but if you’ve used them for several weeks or more with no improvement, it’s time to see a dermatologist in NYC.

Conditions

NYC Dermatologist Dr. Taft treat routine and complex skin conditions. Our goal is to provide outstanding dermatological care for a patient’s health throughout her lifetime. We have provided a brief overview of each topic, and encourage you to click on the links to get more information.

  • Age Spots
    Dermatology researchers have learned that age spots happen in the melanin, the top layer of your epidermis. Melanin darkens as it’s exposed to the harmful ultraviolet rays of the sun.
  • Bruises
    Bruises are visible signs of trauma to your skin. They are caused by blood trapped underneath your skin.
  • Cellulite
    Cellulite is a common skin condition that plagues nearly 90 percent of women in industrialized nations.
  • Melasma
    If you’ve noticed an appearance of dark patches on your skin, you may have a skin condition called melasma.
  • Red Dots on Skin
    Many of the potential causes of red spots on your skin are totally benign and nothing to worry about.
  • Rosacea
    A chronic yet routine skin condition in people over the age of 30, rosacea generally manifests itself as the extreme visibility of red blood vessels in your cheeks, nose, and forehead.
  • Seborrheic Dermatitis
    It usually can be cured or symptoms resolved within months after an accurate diagnosis. But seborrheic dermatitis can be mistaken for other skin conditions, such as eczema and psoriasis.
  • Spider Veins
    Spider veins usually appear on your face or legs, but can develop anywhere on your body. They may appear in very small batches or take up large areas of skin.
  • Stretch Marks
    Though they may seem unsightly, stretch marks are not medically harmful and they don’t result in any pain. They most commonly appear on your abdomen, buttocks, hips and breasts.
  • Skin Discoloration
    When your skin changes color — either darker or lighter, or to some other shade of pink, blue or red — it’s not necessarily a sign of a medical condition that you need to get treated.
  • Sun Damage
    Unless you want to look like a hard-core sailor or add years to your face, you should reconsider the benefits you think you’re getting from ultraviolet exposure.
