One of the problems faced during adolescence is that of Acne. We are talking about a very common skin disorder, which is a cause of social discomfort for many young people.
«Acne is a multifactorial pathology - says dermatologist Mirella D’Andrea - characterized by the formation of comedones, papules, pustules, nodules, and/or cysts that form following the obstruction and inflammation of the pilosebaceous units. It mainly develops on the face and upper part of the trunk, most often affecting adolescents but sometimes it can also occur in a more advanced age (late onset acne). The diagnosis is based on the objective examination and the treatment is based on the severity, it can include various topical and systemic agents aimed at reducing inflammation and normalizing the process of keratinization and sebum production».
Prevention and treatment of Acne must be carried out by professional doctors in the field through a multidisciplinary collaboration that allows the optimization of results. This is the philosophy that Professor Francesco D’Andrea, together with his staff, has been carrying on for years, because through the integration of knowledge, the right information and the most appropriate therapeutic paths can be offered.
«It's important to underline - says Professor Francesco D’Andrea - that acne, once the acute phase is resolved, can leave more or less evident scarring, especially on the face, which creates psychological discomfort. We can also intervene on this aspect in collaboration with the dermatologist with personalized protocols ranging from advanced aesthetic medicine to the most modern technologies».
