Acne is a chronic skin condition caused when oil and dead skin clog pores, causing whiteheads, blackheads, and pimples. Causes may be directly related to hormones and stress. Cystic acne, commonly seen related with hormonal acne attributed to PCOS, is a more severe form in which the predominant lesions are follicular cysts that may rupture and scar. A variety of in-office treatments, along with medical grade home care regimen, may be recommended to treat acne and correct scarring, such as chemical peel, microdermabrasion or laser therapy.
