1. Introduction

From adolescence to adulthood, many people struggle with acne.
If left untreated, acne can leave scars, so early treatment is essential.

At our clinics (Ueno Main Clinic and Yokohama Branch), we have introduced the latest acne treatment menu based on medical evidence.

In this article, we will explain in detail the symptoms, causes, and treatment methods of acne, as well as the treatment options available at our clinic.

Online medical consultations are also available. Please feel free to contact us.

2. Symptoms of Acne

Acne is an inflammatory skin disease that progresses in stages:

• Whiteheads (comedones): Early stage where pores are clogged with sebum
• Blackheads: Sebum oxidizes and appears black
• Red pimples: Inflammation caused by the growth of acne bacteria
• Pustules: Severe inflammation with pus formation

3. Causes of Acne

Acne develops due to multiple overlapping factors:

• Excess sebum secretion (puberty, hormonal imbalance)
• Clogged pores (keratinization)
• Growth of acne bacteria
• Lifestyle factors (lack of sleep, diet, stress)

4. Treatment Methods for Acne

Treatment is tailored to the severity of symptoms:

• Topical medications: Antibiotics, keratolytic agents
• Oral medications: Antibiotics, hormonal therapy, isotretinoin
• Skin care guidance: Proper cleansing, moisturizing, lifestyle improvement
• Combination therapy: Multiple medications used together depending on severity
