Mild acne is a common form of acne and can happen in teenagers as well as adults. Mild acne is often characterized by small lesions. Salicylic acid wash is sometimes recommended to deal with cases of mild acne. However, it is important to avoid scrubbing the skin since hard scrubbing acne prone areas can actually irritate the skin and lead to worse acne. Squeezing pimples should also be avoided for the same reason. Mild acne is often treated with medical grade skin care products available at our Toronto acne clinic. These products also help treat the underlying causes of acne since they exfoliate the skin, open up plugged follicles, and kill the bacteria that can aggravate acne prone skin.
