Acne

Acne is a chronic skin disease that occurs during hormonal changes, especially during adolescence. It affects the glands that secrete sebum at the root of the hair, called “pilosebaceous follicles”.

Acne is a disease that can have real psychological repercussions and alter the quality of life: mood disorders, depression, altered self-image, relationship difficulties…

Its treatment, based on the level of severity, is composed of a local treatment (creams, gels) and a general treatment (antibiotics).

Attention:

• No treatment is immediately effective, it takes a few weeks before obtaining an improvement.
• The good follow-up of an acne treatment is a guarantee of its success. However, few patients follow it correctly, especially in an African context.

In any case, the advice of your doctor will be very useful for you to overcome it.
