1. Educational purpose
The information on this website is provided for general education about acne, acne scarring, and their treatment. It is not a substitute for a personal consultation, examination, and diagnosis by a qualified dermatologist.
2. No guaranteed outcomes
Acne is a chronic, relapsing condition and treatment results vary from person to person. No dermatologist can guarantee a specific outcome, complete clearance, or a cure, and no procedure can erase a scar. Any description of typical treatment courses, timelines, or results on this site is general and may not apply to your individual situation.
3. Prescription treatment and monitoring
Some acne treatments described here, including isotretinoin and hormonal agents, carry serious risks and require medical supervision, pregnancy prevention where applicable, and blood monitoring. Nothing on this site is a prescription, a dose, or a substitute for the monitoring that these treatments require.
4. Seek professional advice
If you have a medical concern about acne or about a mark or scar described here — especially acne that is nodular, painful, or scarring, or a lesion that is changing, bleeding, or failing to heal — please arrange a consultation with a qualified dermatologist. For a severe reaction to a new medicine, with fever, blistering, or mucosal involvement, seek medical attention promptly.
