It most commonly affects people between 12 and 18 years of age who are experiencing hormonal fluctuations, but it can occur in people of other ages. It can appear differently on various skin types.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Blackheads (uninflamed)<\/li>\n<li>Pus-filled pimples<\/li>\n<li>Larger red bumps<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Acne is upsetting for many reasons, including its effect on facial appearance. If treated improperly, permanent scarring can result. It\u2019s not always possible to prevent the onset of acne, so it is crucial to understand what to do (and what not to do) when it occurs. Seeing Dr. Tan puts you under the care of a doctor with medical and cosmetic\/aesthetic knowledge, both of which are important to optimal care.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div><\/div><!--close column table wrapper.
