Acne, or acne vulgaris, is a very common skin condition. It affects millions of people throughout the UK and causes the development of spots, usually on your face, chest, back and shoulders. There are different types of spots that can develop, which we will cover later on. Acne often starts during puberty, due to increased levels of testosterone in the body, and, in most people, it clears up by their early twenties. However, sometimes you can experience it earlier or later in life – adult acne is more common in women than men, thought to be due to fluctuating hormone levels. The condition is usually treatable, but it can take a while to clear up, and it is likely to affect almost everyone at some point in their lives. If you are suffering from acne, our online doctors can talk with you about your situation, identify if something specific is causing it and recommend a treatment that will be effective at clearing the condition up. ** ** ## What are the symptoms of acne? The symptoms of acne can vary from person to person, and they can be mild or severe, or may flare up at certain times. There are different types of spots caused by acne, which include: - Blackheads (open comedones) - small bumps that are black or yellow in colour - Whiteheads (closed comedones) – similar to blackheads, but with a harder feel and a white or yellow tip - Nodules - large, inflamed, painful lumps that are hard to touch - Papules - small red or pink inflamed bumps that feel sore - Pustules - inflamed bumps that feel sore, with a white or yellow head, caused by pus - Cysts - large pus-filled lumps You might find that you have some or all of these symptoms.  For more information on[ acne symptoms](https://www.pushdoctor.co.uk/what-we-treat/skin-conditions/acne/symptoms) follow the link. ** ** ## What causes acne? Acne is caused when your sebaceous glands (hair follicles) become blocked because they produce more oil than is needed. This oil mixes with dead skin cells to cause a blockage. The blockages can lead to whiteheads or blackheads or little pimples. This trapped oil can also become infected by the bacteria and can cause larger, more inflamed spots to develop. Read more about the [causes and triggers for acne](https://www.pushdoctor.co.uk/what-we-treat/skin-conditions/acne/causes). ** ** ## Getting an acne diagnosis Our doctors can usually diagnose your acne during an online video consultation. They will ask you about your symptoms and look at the affected areas so that they can confirm the type of acne you have, as well as assess how severe it is. For more information regarding what will happen during your consultation, click here. ** ** ## Acne in pregnancy Acne in pregnancy is very common, particularly during the first trimester of your pregnancy. The good news is that in most cases, acne flare ups will usually pass after the first trimester, or at least calm down. Oral medications will not usually be prescribed if you are pregnant, or trying to get pregnant due to the risk they may have on your baby’s health. For further information about [acne during pregnancy](https://www.pushdoctor.co.uk/what-we-treat/skin-conditions/acne/pregnancy). ** ** ## Acne treatment Mild acne may be able to be treated with an over the counter product containing benzoyl peroxide. In more severe cases, you may need treatment with prescription medications. Our doctors may recommend one of the following treatments to help deal with your severe acne: - Retinoids - Topical antibiotics - Azelaic acid - Antibiotic tablets - The pill - hormonal therapies You can find out more about [how acne can be treated](https://www.pushdoctor.co.uk/what-we-treat/skin-conditions/acne/treatment). ** ** ## How can Push Doctor help with acne? With Push Doctor, you can have a face-to-face video consultation on your smartphone, tablet or laptop at a time and place to suit you. Our doctors will ask you about your symptoms, lifestyle and medical history and will have a look at the affected area using the camera on your device. Our doctors can recommend the right treatment for you, or if your acne is very severe, they can refer you to a skin specialist for further investigation. ### Skin Care Articles ## Related articles ### [![](https://www.pushdoctor.co.uk/hubfs/sun-safety-featured.jpg) 9 sun protection tips to keep your skin healthy](https://www.pushdoctor.co.uk/what-we-treat/skin-conditions/articles/9-sun-protection-tips-to-keep-your-skin-healthy) ### [![skincare-featured](https://www.pushdoctor.co.uk/hubfs/skincare-featured.jpg) Support your skin with Dr Lauren Evans](https://www.pushdoctor.co.uk/what-we-treat/skin-conditions/articles/support-your-skin-with-dr-lauren-evans) ### [![](https://www.pushdoctor.co.uk/hubfs/Blog-Salmon.jpg) The best food for healthy skin](https://www.pushdoctor.co.uk/what-we-treat/skin-conditions/articles/the-best-food-for-healthy-skin) ### [![](https://www.pushdoctor.co.uk/hubfs/social-suggested-images/shutterstock_379438036.jpg) How To Get Rid Of Psoriasis This Summer: 5 Tips From Our Doctors](https://www.pushdoctor.co.uk/what-we-treat/skin-conditions/articles/how-to-get-rid-of-psoriasis-this-summer) ### **NHS - trained and registered doctors Every one of our doctors is registered with the General Medical Council and can be found on the NHS National Performers List, so you know you are only ever receiving the best possible care and advice.

To collect your medication, simply hear to the nominated pharmacy to collect and pay for your prescription. You will need to take a valid form of ID to show the pharmacist when you arrive. This process is almost always done within the same day of your consultation. ![close button](https://www.pushdoctor.co.uk/hubfs/SVGs/close-black.svg) ### **Instant fit (sick) notes Our GPs can send a sick/fit note directly to you if necessary following an online consultation. These can be sent directly by email or first-class post. Fit notes include recommendations about how and when you'll be able to return to work or education, or whether you're able to return to work with amended duties (e.g no heavy lifting or reduced hours). They can also contain detailed advice about managing your medical issue in the workplace. ![close button](https://www.pushdoctor.co.uk/hubfs/SVGs/close-black.svg) ```json { "@context" : "http://schema.org", "@type" : "MedicalCondition", "alternateName" : "Acne", "associatedAnatomy" : { "@type" : "AnatomicalStructure", "name" : "Skin" }, "cause" : [ { "@type" : "MedicalCause", "name" : "sebaceous glands (hair follicles) become blocked because they produce more oil than is needed" } ], "code" : { "@type" : "MedicalCode", "code" : "ED80", "codingSystem" : "ICD-11" }, "differentialDiagnosis" : { "@type" : "DDxElement", "diagnosis" : { "@type" : "MedicalCondition", "name" : "Acne" }, "distinguishingSign" : [ { "@type" : "MedicalSymptom", "name" : "Symptoms can vary from person to person, bumps on skin which may be filled with pus or red inflamed bumps" } ] }, "name" : "Acne", "possibleTreatment" : [ { "@type" : "Drug", "name" : "Retinoids" }, { "@type" : "Drug", "name" : "antibiotics" }, { "@type" : "Drug", "name" : "Hormonal therapies" } ], "riskFactor" : [ { "@type" : "MedicalRiskFactor", "name" : "Age - during puberty" } ], "signOrSymptom" : [ { "@type" : "MedicalSymptom", "name" : "Blackheads (open comedones) - small bumps that are black or yellow in colour" }, { "@type" : "MedicalSymptom", "name" : "Whiteheads (closed comedones) – small harder bumps with a white or yellow tip" }, { "@type" : "MedicalSymptom", "name" : "Nodules - large, inflamed, painful lumps that are hard to touch" }, { "@type" : "MedicalSymptom", "name" : "Papules - small red or pink inflamed bumps that feel sore" }, { "@type" : "MedicalSymptom", "name" : "Pustules - inflamed bumps that feel sore, with a white or yellow head, caused by pus" }, { "@type" : "MedicalSymptom", "name" : "Cysts - large pus-filled lumps" } ] } ``` ```json { "@context" : "http://schema.org", "@type" : "WebPage", "description" : "Acne affects many people at different times of their lives.
