What is acne?

Common acne (acne vulgaris) is a chronic skin condition that causes inflammation on areas of the body like the face, back, and chest. Why there? Because these areas tend to be rich in oil glands that can clog your pores (hair follicles), causing pimples.

Why do I get acne?

Acne can be caused by hormones, genetics, the amount of oil your skin naturally produces, and other underlying factors that are largely out of your control. Fortunately, the condition is very treatable.

The best acne treatment is the one that works for your skin type and addresses underlying causes. Healthcare providers often prescribe a combination of acne medications for the best results.

Common acne treatments

Your Amazon One Medical provider will determine which (if any) acne treatment is medically appropriate for you based on your symptoms and health history. If you're prescribed medication, pick it up at a pharmacy of your choice. Choose Amazon Pharmacy for free delivery and transparent Prime pricing. The cost of your prescribed medication may be covered by health insurance.

Frequently asked questions

About Amazon One Medical

What are my telehealth options for this condition?
Amazon One Medical offers multiple ways to get care from the comfort of your own home.

If you're a One Medical member and you live in a state where One Medical has offices, you can schedule Remote Visits with One Medical providers, which are billable to you or your health insurance. As a member, you can also get 24/7 on-demand virtual care with Treat Me Now or Urgent Video Chat via the One Medical app at no extra cost, no matter where you live in the United States.

If you're not a One Medical member, you can start a one-time virtual visit with Pay-per-visit. Pay-per-visit offers two types of telehealth for Amazon customers: video visits and message-only visits. Video visits are available for $49 in all 50 states and D.C. Message-only visits are currently available for $29 in 34 states.

To see your Pay-per-visit options, first choose your state.
Can I use my health insurance for Pay-per-visit?
Amazon One Medical doesn't accept health insurance for Pay-per-visit care. You can submit a claim to your insurance provider for reimbursement, but we can’t guarantee they’ll reimburse you for your one-time virtual visit.

If you normally use insurance to pay for your medications, you can do that with medications prescribed through all Amazon One Medical services. Amazon Pharmacy accepts most insurance plans. For other pharmacies, please talk with your pharmacy directly about insurance coverage. The cost of medication isn’t included in the cost of your visit.
What happens if my provider can't diagnose or treat my health issue through Amazon One Medical Pay-per-visit?
If your provider can’t diagnose or treat your health issue through Pay-per-visit, they may recommend that you see a primary care provider or a specialist for in-person care. If that happens, you won't be charged.
Can I communicate with a provider after I get my Pay-per-visit treatment plan?
Yes. When you use Pay-per-visit, you can message with One Medical providers within your personal dashboard for an additional 2 weeks (14 days) at no extra cost. This complimentary communication window allows you time to:
Ask follow-up questions about any prescriptions or over-the-counter medications in your treatment plan

• Connect with a provider if you think your treatment needs to be adjusted

• Tell a provider if you're experiencing side effects from your medication

• Tell a provider if there's an issue getting your prescription from the pharmacy

• Let the One Medical care team know that you're feeling better
Your secure, HIPAA-compliant message will be received by the first available provider, who will be able to review your visit’s treatment plan and any follow-up correspondence. If you still need treatment adjustments or have questions after the 14-day communication window, you'll need to start a new visit.
What if I want to refill my medication?
If your provider didn't include refills with a prescription when they sent your treatment plan through Pay-per-visit, you'll need to start a new one-time virtual visit to request another prescription.

There are many reasons why a provider may decide that prescription refills aren't medically appropriate. For example, they may want to assess how well a medication is working and whether or not it needs to be adjusted before you continue with the same treatment.
How does Amazon One Medical protect my health information?
Amazon One Medical protects customers’ protected health information (PHI) with stringent, Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA)-compliant privacy and security practices to keep information safe and secure.

We’re committed to building an infrastructure that fosters and promotes a culture of customer privacy and a strong commitment to safeguarding health information. We maintain administrative, physical, and technical safeguards to protect customer information. This includes conducting rigorous security reviews and testing during product development, using encryption to protect data, and providing features like two-step verification to help customers protect their accounts.

Amazon does not sell customers’ personal information, including PHI.

About acne

What can I do to improve my self-esteem while getting acne treatment?
It may take time to find the right combination of acne medications for your skin, but while you're waiting for these clinically-proven acne treatments to work, you can remind yourself of the following:
• Acne isn't your fault. It doesn't mean that you're unclean or unhealthy. Acne is a chronic skin condition that's largely inherited. If your parents had acne, you're more likely to have acne.

• Acne affects all ages, not just teens. And it's the #1 reason that Americans visit the dermatologist. You are not alone.
If you're struggling emotionally as you and your provider evaluate the best acne medications for your unique skin profile, don't hesitate to reach out to a mental health counselor or a therapist. It's normal for heightened self-consciousness to lead to feelings of depression or social anxiety. A therapist can help you build strategies to work through your distress.
Acne vs. pimples: What's the difference?
A pimple is a general term for a clogged hair follicle (pore), which is also known as a comedone. There are a few different types of pimple, and they don't all mean you have acne:
Blackheads: small, inflamed bumps with a black tip, also known as open comedones

Whiteheads/pustules: small, inflamed bumps with a pus-filled tip, also known as closed comedones

Papules: small, inflamed bumps that don't have a pus-filled tip

Nodules: large (5mm+), inflamed lesions that are deeper than papules or pustules

Cysts: a more severe form of nodule that often leads to acne scars
Can I get a prescription for isotretinoin (Accutane) through Amazon One Medical Pay-per-visit?
No. You'll need to see a primary care provider for guidance on taking isotretinoin (Accutane). Prescriptions for this medication may require lab testing and follow-up care.

If you have severe acne that hasn't responded to the most aggressive treatments, a telehealth visit isn't the most appropriate care option for you.
Can I get a prescription for tretinoin (Retin-A) even if I don't have acne?
Can I get treatment for hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) through Pay-per-visit?
