Acne advice

The below information may be useful:

• Avoid washing affected areas more than twice daily to reduce irritation.
• Use a mild cleanser and only lukewarm water.
• Avoid squeezing blackheads and spots to avoid scarring.
• Do not use too many cosmetics and make up and always remove before bedtime.
• Avoid your hair falling on your face.
• Be patient with treatment – results are not quick but work well after a few weeks.

As skin complaints are visible to yourself and others, unlike a lot of other illnesses – this can have an impact on your confidence.

Teenage acne ranges from mild breakouts to moderate or severe cases that can affect confidence and cause scarring. If over-the-counter products and GP advice haven’t worked, private dermatologists offer quicker access to specialist assessment and prescription-strength treatments — without long NHS waiting lists.

Private treatment also means tailored plans, more time with specialists, and the option for advanced therapies if needed.

If MUMS consultants need additional diagnostics and tests – they will perform these during the consultation – such as blood tests, biopsies, urine tests, dermoscopy, swabs for infections. These incur additional charges and results are rapid. Results of tests are provided and interpreted free of charge remotely.
