Red acne usually refers to inflamed pimples caused by blocked hair follicles that become infected with bacteria, leading to redness and swelling.

🩺 What Red Acne Means

• It is a common skin condition where pores get clogged with oil and dead skin cells.
• Bacteria feed on the oil, causing inflammation, redness, and sometimes swelling or pain.
• This type of acne is often called inflammatory acne.

💊 Treatment Overview

• Topical gels like Nilac A Gel, containing adapalene (a vitamin A derivative) and clindamycin (an antibiotic), help reduce oil production, unclog pores, and fight bacteria.
• Side effects may include mild redness, irritation, or peeling, which usually improve over time.
• Avoid applying on broken or sensitive skin and protect your skin from sun exposure while using such treatments.

🩺 When to See a Doctor

• If redness worsens, spreads, or is accompanied by severe pain or pus.
• If over-the-counter treatments do not improve the condition after several weeks.
• For personalized advice and prescription treatments, consult a dermatologist.
