Conditions Services

Affecting about 60 million people each year, acne vulgaris is a very common skin condition that most often appears on the face, torso, and back (“bacne”). While many cases are mild and can be controlled with medication and a good skin care regimen, some individuals have it so badly that scarring can occur. Acne generally is a mix of whiteheads, pimples, blackheads, and small cysts and may occur as other itchy, red, and swollen areas on the skin. Caused by a blend of clogged pores, dead skin cells, and bacteria, it is most commonly found in teenagers but can affect adults well into their 40s. If acne is affecting the health and appearance of your skin, schedule a visit with our Acne Doctor Schaumburg IL team at Horizon Medical Center in Schaumburg, IL to explore effective acne treatment options.
