Boynton Beach Dermatologist Offers Skin Care Tips For Patients With Acne

Dr. Barry Kuttner, dermatologist in Boynton Beach, helps patients with acne enjoy clear, healthy skin.



    BOYNTON BEACH, FL, June 06, 2013 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Acne is a common skin condition that affects most people, to a varying degree, during their teen years. However, acne is by no means restricted to teenagers-adults in their 20's and 30's may even have acne. Waiting to "outgrow" acne can lead to other problems, which is why Dr. Barry Kuttner, Boynton Beach dermatologist, is offering his patients helpful tips for eliminating acne. With medical treatment from Dr. Kuttner and his staff at Integrated Dermatology, patients can improve their appearance and self-esteem, while preventing lifelong scars.

"If a patient suffers from acne, they no longer have to settle with the appearance of their skin because treatment is available. Many effective forms of therapy and medications have been developed to help in the process of eliminating and preventing acne," said Dr. Barry Kuttner, dermatologist in Boynton Beach. "Years of untreated acne can leave a lifelong imprint on a person's face and can have an effect on self-image. While acne may not be curable, it is usually controllable and preventable."

Normal skin contains oil glands under the skin, which produce an oily substance called sebum. The sebum moves from the bottom to the top of each hair follicle and then spills out onto the surface of the skin, taking with it sloughed-off skin cells. When a person develops acne, the structure in which the sebum flows gets plugged up. This blockage traps the sebum and sloughed off cells below the skin, preventing them from being released onto the skin's surface.

If a patient's pore's opening is fully blocked, a whitehead will be produced and if the pore's opening is open, a blackhead is created. If a whitehead or blackhead becomes inflamed, they can turn into red pustules or papules. Dr. Kuttner, dermatologist in Boynton Beach, FL, urges his patients to not pick or scratch at the lesions because it can make them inflamed, leading to long-term scarring.

Treatment for acne tends to be a relatively slow process. There is no overnight remedy to cure a person's acne, but if a patient commits to a treatment, his or her acne can be eliminated. With advances in medicine today, virtually every case of acne can be controlled. Many people with mild acne can experience clear skin with good skin care and acne products.

With help from Dr. Barry Kuttner and his experienced staff at Integrated Dermatology, Boynton Beach Spanish speaking dermatologists, patients' acne can be successfully controlled. Visit Integrated Dermatology today for further consultation and treatment options for acne.

"Once acne is under control, patients can gain self-confidence with clear, healthy skin. I look forward to helping my patients experience clear, healthy skin once again with proper treatment," said Dr. Kuttner, Spanish-speaking dermatologist in Boynton Beach.
