Acne Treatment
Acne isn’t just about appearance. Painful breakouts, pimples on the chin or recurring forehead acne can impact how you feel about yourself every day. At Doctor Help, we provide expert acne treatment and ongoing support online, so you can finally find a lasting solution that works for you.
Tired of Breakouts That Just Won’t Heal?
Whether you’re battling blackheads, struggling with a stubborn blind pimple, or frustrated with bacne that won’t clear, you don’t have to keep guessing which products will help. Our doctors provide safe, evidence-based care through telehealth, offering online prescriptions for acne creams and targeted solutions for specific concerns, such as pimple on lip or acne spot treatment through online GP consultations.
With professional guidance, you’ll avoid wasted time and harmful trial-and-error routines.
Types of Acne We Treat
- Our GPs can diagnose and treat a wide range of acne, including:
- Whiteheads and blackheads – caused by clogged pores
- Papules and pustules – inflamed pimples, often on the face or body
- Nodules and cysts – deeper lesions that may scar
- Hormonal acne – linked to cycles, stress, or underlying conditions
- Pregnancy acne – flare-ups triggered by hormonal changes
- Fungal acne – often mistaken for bacterial acne, requiring different management
- Back acne (bacne) – breakouts on the shoulders and back
Causes of Acne
- Acne can appear on the face, chest, shoulders, or back. Common causes include:
- Excess oil production and clogged pores
- Hormonal changes leading to hormonal pimples or forehead acne
- Fungal overgrowth causing fungal acne
- Irritation from skincare or cosmetics not labelled non-comedogenic
- Pregnancy and postpartum hormonal shifts
