Acne is a common chronic skin condition caused by dead skin cells and excess sebum (an oily substance produced by the sebaceous glands) blocking the hair follicles which causes acne to form. Acne is a complex condition as there are different types (for example hormonal, cystic, nodular and fungal) which look different but can all severely affect confidence and self esteem. There are also many different potential causes and triggers, making it complex to treat.

Acne can be exacerbated by hormones, diet, lifestyle and unsuitable and even damaging skincare products. This is why it is essential to seek expert advice from one of our skin specialists at our Shropshire Skin Clinic.
