Read MoreAcne is one of the most common skin conditions, affecting people of all ages. It occurs when hair follicles become clogged with oil and dead skin cells, leading to whiteheads, blackheads, pimples, and sometimes deeper cysts. For some, acne is a mild, occasional issue, but for others, it can be persistent, painful, and emotionally distressing. At InMotion Health, we offer personalized acne care that comes to you.
What Is Acne?
Acne is a skin condition that develops when pores become blocked due to excess oil production, dead skin cells, and bacteria. It often appears on the face, chest, back, and shoulders. Acne can range from small whiteheads and blackheads to larger, inflamed papules, pustules, or cysts. While acne is not dangerous, it can leave behind scars or dark spots if untreated and may take a toll on your confidence.
How Is Acne Treated?
At InMotion Health, acne treatment is tailored to your specific skin type, severity, and overall health. We typically begin with an evaluation to examine your skin more closely. If there’s concern that acne has led to a bacterial skin infection—such as a small abscess or pustule—we can collect a sample during your in-home visit and send it for diagnostic testing through our trusted lab partners. This allows us to identify the specific bacteria involved and tailor treatment accordingly, including prescribing antibiotics if needed.
Your individualized treatment plan may include topical medications, oral antibiotics, and recommendations for skincare products that won’t clog your pores. We’ll also provide guidance on lifestyle and daily routines that may be contributing to your breakouts. We treat acute acne flares quickly and effectively. For ongoing care, we may refer you to a trusted dermatologist who can help you develop a personalized maintenance plan.
Symptoms of Acne
Acne symptoms vary by type and severity. Common signs include:
- Whiteheads (closed clogged pores)
- Blackheads (open clogged pores)
- Papules (small red, tender bumps)
- Pustules (pus-filled pimples)
- Nodules or cysts (painful, deep lumps beneath the skin)
These symptoms can flare up periodically and may become worse with hormonal changes, stress, or certain medications or products.
What Causes Acne?
Acne is caused by several factors:
- Excess sebum (oil) production
- Dead skin cells that block pores
- Bacterial overgrowth (especially Cutibacterium acnes)
- Hormonal fluctuations (often during puberty, menstruation, or stress)
- Genetics
- Certain skincare or hair products
Why Is Acne Treatment Important?
Prompt and consistent treatment is important because it can reduce inflammation, prevent acne scars, and shorten the duration of breakouts. Effective care also supports better self-esteem and emotional well-being, especially for patients experiencing severe or persistent acne. Left untreated, acne can lead to permanent scarring or post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, especially in individuals who are prone to deeper or more inflamed lesions.
How Should I Support My Recovery From Acne?
To support your recovery from acne, it’s essential to practice good skincare habits, gently cleanse your face twice daily, and avoid the urge to pick or squeeze blemishes. You should take any prescribed medications exactly as directed and maintain a healthy lifestyle that includes a balanced diet and stress management. Our providers offer expert support to ensure you achieve the best possible results.
Who to Trust with Treatment
InMotion Health delivers expert acne care directly to you. Our licensed providers offer in‑home and virtual consultations, diagnostic testing, and customized treatment plans designed to address your unique skin needs. We treat acute acne flares quickly and effectively, and if longer‑term treatment is needed, we can coordinate a referral to a trusted dermatologist for ongoing care.
When in Doubt
If you or someone else is experiencing severe or life-threatening symptoms and you’re unsure whether it’s an emergency, call 911 or go to the nearest Emergency Room. It’s always safer to seek immediate care rather than delay treatment.
