Plainly stated: Acne sucks. Not only can it indicate an underlying systemic medical condition, but it can cause permanent scarring, cause painful nagging cysts and can cause significant psychological distress. Boooooo!!! The chronic use of masks during the pandemic has led to a subclass of acne related to masks call Maskne and we don't like it either. In this episode, we have the privilege of interviewing Davina Braselton, PA-C (@davinabraselton) about Maskne and basic acne. With over 17 years of experience in Dermatology, Davina has a vast amount of knowledge of the challenging subject of acne, including what you can do at home to begin treatment of acne and when it's advised to seek professional help. She currently works with Lanier Dermatology in Gainesville, Georgia (770) 538-0208.
If you have persistent or worsening acne, I'd suggest meeting with a reputable dermatology provider to evaluate and begin treatment. It's also important to rule out underlying medical conditions that may manifest themselves in the skin.
As mentioned throughout the episode, more information can be found at The American Academy of Dermatology website www.aad.org
