General information, not an individual diagnosis. Ask a healthcare professional if you are unsure about your situation.

Clean skin gently, without scrubbing or using alcohol-based or harsh cleansing products.

Avoid squeezing or scratching spots, as these actions irritate the skin.

Protect your skin from sunlight and avoid irritating remedies promoted online.

Seek a consultation if acne spreads, causes scars or affects your emotional wellbeing.

The doctor assesses severity and its impact before choosing appropriate treatment.

At the consultation, describe skin care already tried and medicines taken: these help the doctor look for aggravating factors.
