Behandling af akne
Acne is a common inflammatory skin condition that can affect both adolescents and adults. It can cause pimples, cysts and scars, and many find that self-treatment is not enough. At Charlottenlund Privathospital, our dermatology specialists offer personal assessment and targeted treatment of acne.
Hvad er akne?
Acne is a skin condition in which the sebaceous glands and hair follicles become inflamed. It is typically seen as:
- Hudorme (komedoner)
- Røde papler og pustler
- Deep cysts in severe cases
Acne is often caused by a combination of hormones, increased sebum production, clogged pores, and bacterial growth. The condition can be seen in teens, but also in adults and women in their 30s.
Hvornår bør man søge hudlæge?
Du bør kontakte hudlæge, hvis:
- The acne is severe or widespread
- There is a risk of scarring
- Hudlægebehandling er forsøgt uden effekt
- Acne affects your quality of life
En hudlæge kan vurdere, om der er behov for medicinsk behandling, kontrol af hormonpåvirkning eller andre målrettede tiltag.
Sådan stilles diagnosen
Diagnosen stilles ved klinisk vurdering, hvor lægen:
- Examining your skin
- Skelner mellem forskellige typer akne
- Identificerer eventuelle ar eller sekundære infektioner
If necessary, photography or documentation can be taken for follow-up.
Treatment options
Der findes flere behandlingsformer, alt efter sværhedsgrad:
Local treatment
- A-vitaminsyre (retinoider)
- Antibakterielle cremer/gel
- Kombinationsterapier
Systemisk behandling
- Antibiotika på recept
- Isotretinoin in selected cases
- Hormonel behandling til kvinder
Always read your doctor's instructions — many treatments require monitoring and assessment of side effects.
Forløb og opfølgning
Behandling af akne er ofte et forløb, ikke en enkelt konsultation. Det betyder:
- Follow-up assessments
- Justering af behandling
- Focus on scar prevention
We adapt the plan to each patient and follow up regularly.

Ofte stillede spørgsmål
Does acne go away on its own?
Milde former kan aftage over tid, men ved moderat eller svær akne anbefales professionel vurdering, da tidlig behandling mindsker risiko for arvæv.
Which treatments work best?
It depends on the type and severity. Topical treatment often works for mild acne, while severe acne may require tablet treatment or isotretinoin after a dermatologist's assessment.
Yes. Severe inflammatory acne can cause scarring, especially if pimples are squeezed or itched. Early treatment reduces this risk.
Is diet relevant to acne?
Nogle studier indikerer, at kost med højt sukkerindhold kan påvirke akne. En sund, afbalanceret kost kan være en del af helhedsplanen, men bør ikke erstatte medicinsk behandling.
Can I have treatment while I am pregnant?
Certain treatments, such as retinoids, are not suitable during pregnancy. It is important to talk to your dermatologist about safe treatments for you.
