Greetings,

Thank you for choosing us to get an opinion regarding your skin health issues.

Based on your explanations, you are having acne breakout problem. I will do my best to provide you with the informations needed.

For your information, acne can be cause by multifactorial causes such as:

  • Excess oil production on sebaceous glands or excessive consumption of oily food (fried in particular).
  • Clogged hair follicles by oil or dead skin.
  • Poor skin hygiene which cause bacterial infection
  • Hormonal factors: excessive secretion of androgens.

However, acne can also be caused by serious conditions that might need further evaluation by a doctor including:

  • Folliculitis is an inflammation of the hair follicles
  • Dermatitis
  • Infectious diseases such as dengue fever, HIV, and chickenpox.
  • Allergic reactions to some drugs
  • Disease of the hair follicles is urticaria
  • Vasculitis

There are several questions that we need to enquire from you to explore different possibilities and give you the best treatment.

I hope the above statement does help you in a way and if you need further assistance and explanations from us, you can talk to our doctor or our specialist online. Thank you.
