Acne – Belfast Skin Clinic
Menu

Acne is a very common condition caused by the inflammation of grease-producing glands in the skin, leaving blocked pores (blackheads and whiteheads) and inflamed red papules and pustules, otherwise known as ‘spots’.

Typical appearance of acne can include:

  • Oily skin
  • Blackheads and whiteheads
  • Red spots
  • Yellow pus-filled pimples
  • Large tender spots or cysts under the skins surface
