Acne is a skin condition that can affect patients of all ages and skin types. It ranges in severity (from mild white or blackheads to more painful bumps and pimples) and can result from a variety of conditions. Acne is a deeply personal condition, affecting one’s appearance and self-esteem and treatment needs vary from patient-to-patient. This makes it important to find a dermatologist who will work with you and tailor your approach to skincare so that it suits your specific goals.
Patients looking for safe acne treatment in Washington, DC, will be thrilled to learn that Dr. Cheryl Burgess at the Center for Dermatology and Dermatological Surgery is a board-certified dermatologist nationally recognized as an expert in the field. She offers experienced guidance for customized skincare regimens to patients with mild cases and she can prescribe medications or effective laser treatments for patients with more severe cases.
For many, acne is a temporary condition and Dr. Burgess can help you navigate it safely, with minimal long-term impact. However, patients with more severe acne may experience prolonged symptoms.
