Effective Acne Solutions at Helalat Clinic in Amman

Acne is one of the most common skin conditions, affecting teenagers and adults alike — causing pimples, blackheads, whiteheads, inflamed spots, cysts, nodules, and sometimes lasting scars or dark marks.

At Helalat Clinic in Dabouq, Amman, Dr. Mohammad Helalat provides personalized dermatological assessment and treatment based on the type, severity, and distribution of your acne, along with your skin type and individual needs.

What Causes Acne?

Acne develops when hair follicles become blocked with oil and dead skin cells, often combined with inflammation and changes in the skin's microorganisms. Contributing factors include:

• Excess oil production

• Blocked pores

• Hormonal changes

• Genetics and family history

• Certain medications and skincare products

Acne is not caused by poor hygiene — excessive washing or scrubbing can actually irritate the skin further.

Types of Acne

• Blackheads and Whiteheads – non-inflammatory, caused by blocked pores

• Papules and Pustules – inflamed red bumps, sometimes containing pus

• Cystic and Nodular Acne – deep, painful, with higher scarring risk

• Adult Acne – can persist or develop later in life, often hormonally influenced

Acne Treatment in Amman

There is no single treatment suitable for everyone. Depending on severity and medical history, treatment may include:

Topical treatments – retinoids, benzoyl peroxide, azelaic acid, salicylic acid, or topical antibiotics.

Oral treatments – oral antibiotics, hormonal therapy, or isotretinoin for moderate to severe acne, always under medical supervision.

Severe or painful acne may also be treated with intralesional corticosteroid injections to reduce inflammation and scarring risk.

Acne Scar Treatments

Once active acne is controlled, scarring and texture concerns can be addressed separately. Different scar types require different approaches, which is why individual assessment matters.
