what-we-treat CCC skin-conditions CCC acne CCC causes ** ** ## Who is affected by acne? Acne tends to develop during puberty and in most people, it will clear up by your mid-twenties. However, other people can be affected earlier or later in their lives. It isn’t contagious, so you can not pass it on or catch it from another person. ** ** ## What causes acne? Acne is caused when your sebaceous glands become blocked - these are more commonly called hair follicles. This can happen when the glands produce excess oil. During your teenage years, during puberty, and when acne is most common, you produce a lot more oil than you did as a child due to increased levels of testosterone in your body, which leads to greasier skin. This oil, called sebum, mixes with dead skin cells that line your pores to cause a blockage. The blockages can lead to whiteheads, blackheads or little pimples. In more severe cases, the trapped oil can become infected by the bacteria that lives on your skin, normally without causing any harm, which is called propionibacterium acnes, and can cause larger more inflamed spots to develop called papules or pustules. These are the lumpy, pus filled spots that may be sore and tender. If they become severely infected, it can lead to cysts or nodules developing. ** ** ## Other acne causes Other things that may lead to acne or make it worse include: - Family history - acne may run in families - Medications may also cause acne, including anabolic steroids, or phenytoin, which is sometimes prescribed for epilepsy. Your doctor should explain the possible side effects of a medication before prescribing it. - The use of cosmetic products can also sometimes be linked to acne - you may be sensitive to some ingredients in cosmetic products. - The progestogen only contraceptive pill may cause acne or make it worse. - Picking and squeezing spots can cause further inflammation. - Fluctuating hormones in women can cause acne. - The menopause can lead to acne. - Pregnancy means lots of hormonal changes, which can cause acne. - Other medical conditions, such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). ### Skin Care Articles ### **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. They are experienced in treating a wide range of conditions, and can help with almost everything your regular GP could in a physical surgery. You can meet some of our doctors [here](https://www.pushdoctor.co.uk/meet-our-doctors). Push Doctor also has an in-house Medical team, who support our doctors day in, day out, and enable our doctors to do what they do best. They are also responsible for the ongoing training and development of doctors on our platform. ** ### **CQC regulated The [Care Quality Commission (CQC)](https://www.cqc.org.uk/) is the independent regulator of health and social care in England. They are the foremost authority in our industry, assessing health providers' ability to provide people with safe, effective, compassionate and high-quality care – be they offline or online doctors. Push Doctor is registered with the CQC under the name 'Push Dr Limited', with the registration number [1-5345986073](https://www.cqc.org.uk/location/1-5345986073). Our most recent inspection took place in May 2019, concluding that the service we provide is safe, effective, caring, responsive and well-led – gaining a 'Good' rating overall. You can read the report in full on [our CQC profile](https://www.cqc.org.uk/location/1-5345986073). ** ### **Same day prescriptions Our NHS-trained GPs can, if appropriate, issue prescriptions online following a consultation. Once your consultation is complete, our team will search for the closest pharmacy to you which has your medication available. We'll then send you a text when your prescription is ready to collect. 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. ** ### **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. ** ```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" : "There are lots of different acne causes.
