There are two types of acne: inflammatory and non-inflammatory.<\/p>\n
Non-inflammatory acne occurs when oil and dead cells clog the pores in your skin. This causes blackheads or whiteheads to develop, which tends to be painless, whereas inflammatory acne can be much more painful. Inflammatory breakouts tend to be red and, in some cases, will have a white \u201chead\u201d to them. Depending on the severity, they may become hard to touch and very tender.<\/p>\n
Inflammatory acne can be sore and as we\u2019ve heard from people we\u2019ve treated, can make people feel self-conscious. It can also leave permanent scars behind in some cases. Inflammatory acne is caused by the imbalance of androgen and oestrogen hormones. Over-production of the male hormones (androgen) or a reduction in female hormones (oestrogen) causes a surge of production of sebum, which deposits itself into the follicle. Over-the-counter creams don\u2019t usually work in this situation, so alternative treatments such as those that we offer are usually explored.<\/p>\n
Acne appears differently for different people, not always breaking out on the face. Some cases might be on the back (bacne) and shoulders, and it may affect you in later life, even though you didn\u2019t suffer as a teenager. Whatever your situation, it\u2019s nothing to be embarrassed about, and we\u2019re here to help you find the right solution.<\/p>\n
