Acne - April 2021

You're listening to season 2 of the Penny's Hill Practice podcast!

In this episode, Dr Geoff Hamp and Dr Sam McGinley look at acne, a condition that has probably affected all of us at one stage or another, but also one that can cause great anxiety and issues with how people feel about themselves.

We will tell you the best things you can use and try at home, the things definitely not to try, dispel some of the common myths around acne (does chocolate give you acne?), and explain what treatments we can use to help you with your acne. We also discuss what happens next if despite all these treatments, we still cannot control your acne.

We will cover the topic of acne rosacea in another podcast.

If you have any suggestions for topics you would like covered, email  them to pennyshill.podcast@dorsetgp.nhs.uk and put the word "Podcast"  as your subject, or leave us a message at https://anchor.fm/pennyshillpractice/message

As always, please look after yourself and each other, stay safe, stay well and remember to keep smiling. Until next week!
