Acne

Why wait to see the GP when you can get expert advice and treatment from our highly skilled pharmacists? If you live in Wales, you can receive FREE NHS treatment for acne at The Health Dispensary and Neath Pharmacy, along with professional guidance.

Acne is a common skin condition that affects people of all ages, particularly teenagers. It occurs when hair follicles become clogged with oil and dead skin cells, leading to pimples, blackheads, and whiteheads. Acne can cause discomfort and affect self-esteem, but it can be managed effectively with proper treatment and care.

Acne can be frustrating and persistent, but our pharmacists are here to help. They can provide the correct treatment and offer personalised advice on skincare routines to help clear your skin and prevent future breakouts. With professional guidance, you can be hopeful of achieving healthier, clearer skin.

In addition to professional treatment, you can take the following self-care measures to manage and prevent acne:

– Gentle Cleansing: Wash your face twice daily with a mild cleanser to remove excess oil and impurities.

– Avoid Picking: Refrain from picking or squeezing pimples to prevent scarring and further infection.

– Non-Comedogenic Products: Use skincare and makeup products labelled as non-comedogenic as these avoid clogging pores.

– Healthy Diet: Maintain a balanced diet and stay hydrated to support overall skin health.

– Consistent Routine: Follow a consistent skincare routine and give treatments time to work.

Book an appointment online or visit one of our NHS pharmacy branches in Neath for your convenience. Our friendly team is ready to assist you and provide the care you need. If visiting in person isn’t suitable, check our Conditions page to see if we can prescribe treatment privately online.
