Acne is a common skin condition thought to be triggered by hormone imbalances that lead to over production of sebum in the skin, causing blocked pores, spots and painful swellings. This can be an embarrassingly condition and is difficult to treat because it can be linked to a number of factors, but there are many treatments available both over the counter and on prescription that can help to alleviate the symptoms:

· You can buy topical over the counter treatments that contain benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid and these work to kill the bacteria which causes infection and also to prevent pores from becoming blocked by encouraging the skin to shed more effectively.
· If you have severe acne then you will need to see a doctor as there is a risk that it can leave permanent scars, and you may need more aggressive treatments such as oral antibiotics (Tetracycline is commonly prescribed), which can combat the more serious skin infections caused by the acne.
