What is acne and why does it happen?

Acne is a common skin condition that affects people of all ages but is particularly prevalent among teenagers and young adults. It occurs when hair follicles, or pores, become blocked with oil (sebum), dead skin cells, and bacteria. Sebum is a natural oily substance produced by sebaceous glands to keep the skin hydrated. However, when produced in excess, it can mix with other materials and clog the pores. This leads to inflammation and the development of spots, blackheads, whiteheads, and sometimes more severe lesions like cysts. We speak to a leading dermatologist who explains the various types, management options and lifestyle options which can control it.

Management options for psoriasis

Psoriasis is a long-term skin condition characterised by red, scaly patches that can cause discomfort, itchiness, and emotional distress. It occurs when the immune system overreacts, speeding up the life cycle of skin cells, which then accumulate on the skin's surface. While there is no cure, various management options can help control symptoms and improve quality of life. A renowned dermatologist explores some of these options.

Paediatric psoriasis: A parent’s guide

Psoriasis is a chronic skin condition where skin cells grow at an accelerated rate, leading to red, scaly patches on the skin’s surface. In children, this condition is known as paediatric psoriasis. Although psoriasis is more commonly seen in adults, children and even infants can develop it. This skin disorder is not contagious; it’s linked to immune system activity, which causes inflammation and rapid skin cell turnover. While it can be difficult to identify in children, recognising the signs and understanding the triggers can help manage the condition effectively.
