Acne Treatment in New York City

Acne

Acne is a chronic, inflammatory skin condition that causes spots and pimples – especially on the face, shoulders, back, neck, chest, and upper arms. Hormones, oily skin, genetics, bacteria, certain medications, and diet can affect acne. Acne occurs when sebaceous glands attached to hair follicles become clogged with oil and dead skin cells. Bacteria can then get trapped inside the pores and multiply.
