About Acne

Acne is one of the most common skin (or dermatological) conditions that affects both adolescents and adults. Acne can develop from a number of causes, including hormones, excess oil (or sebum) production, or bacteria.

Hyperpigmentation acne (also known as dark spots) occur when a dark spot appears on the skin after a pimple disappears.

Aside from scarring that can occur as a result of acne, many people, especially teens can suffer from the psychological effect of acne. Depression and body image issues are two of the most common psychological side effects of acne.

To treat acne, many people turn to over-the-counter treatments, however, doctors may prescribe creams, ointments or tablets to treat severe acne. These often have other side effects that a doctor or pharmacist will let their patient know before taking them.

The Acne Study is investigating how well a study treatment works to minimize the appearance of acne and dark spots.

All medications must be tested in clinical research studies before they can be approved by regulatory authorities for doctors to prescribe to patients. Without people taking part in these studies, we would have no new treatments. The volunteers who participate in clinical research studies play a major role in helping to advance medicine.
