What to expect.

When to see a GP

Book an appointment when acne is painful, persistent, affecting confidence, leaving marks or scars, or not improving with appropriate pharmacy and skin-care measures.

Your treatment plan

Management may include practical skin-care guidance, non-prescription products, prescription treatment or referral. Some treatments take several weeks to show improvement and require scheduled review.

Acne and wellbeing

Acne can affect confidence, relationships and mental health. Tell your doctor if it is causing distress so this can be considered as part of your care.

Common questions

Frequently asked questions.

How quickly will treatment work?

Improvement is usually gradual. Timing varies with acne type, severity and treatment, so follow-up is important.

Will I need a dermatologist?

Many patients can begin treatment with a GP. Referral may be recommended for severe, scarring or treatment-resistant acne.

Can acne return?

Yes. Some people need maintenance treatment or further review when hormonal, medicine-related or other factors change.
