What is Acne Vulagris?

Acne Vulagris is the medical name for common acne and spans a range of classifications and symptoms:

  • Mild – blackheads and whiteheads
  • Moderate – blackheads, whiteheads, pustules and papules
  • Severe – Hard and painful nodules and cysts, often occurring on multiple areas of the body

Most people suffer from Acne Vulgaris in their teenage years when they go through puberty, due to fluctuations in and sensitivity to hormones. Often the contraceptive pill can also contribute to this type of acne.

Treatment for Acne Vulgaris

A combination of skin treatments and products is the best way to combat Acne Vulgaris and the symptoms listed above. The combination recommended to you will depend on the classification of your acne and your budget, which will be discussed with your at your initial consultation with a medical practitioner.

It’s important to understand that at home treatments will not be as effective in controlling your acne as professionally delivered treatments. Plus, timely and medically proven treatment can help to minimise the risk of long term scarring caused by acne.
