Unmasking the Maze of Acne & Cysts: Navigating Towards Clearer Skin at Smart Skin Dermatology

Acne and cysts can seem like unwelcome intruders, leaving our skin feeling inflamed, bumpy, and even scarred. But fear not! Smart Skin Dermatology is here to guide you through the maze of diagnoses and unlock the secrets to clearer, healthier skin.

What are Acne & Cysts?

This umbrella term encompasses various skin concerns, each with distinct characteristics:

Acne

Ranging from blackheads and whiteheads to inflamed pimples and pustules, acne can be triggered by hormonal fluctuations, bacteria, and excess oil production.

Acne Scars

The aftermath of acne can leave behind depressions, pits, or rolling scars, impacting self-esteem and confidence.

Pilar Cysts

These small, firm bumps often appear on the scalp, face, or trunk and are usually harmless.

Sebaceous Hyperplasias

These small, yellowish bumps on the face, chest, or back are enlarged sebaceous glands and can be effectively treated.

Cysts

These deeper, often painful lumps can be sebaceous cysts (filled with keratin) or pilar cysts (hair follicle cysts), requiring careful diagnosis and treatment.

Lipomas

These soft, movable lumps under the skin are typically harmless fatty deposits, but they can be bothersome cosmetically.

Milia

Tiny, white bumps on the face, often mistaken for blackheads, are actually keratin cysts that can be easily addressed by a dermatologist.
