Acne is a skin condition caused by the pores of the skin becoming clogged up with oil, old cells and bacteria. It commonly occurs on the face, shoulders, back or chest. It may start as a few raised white bumps and develop into small pustules. In severe cases, firm, painful lumps called cysts can develop under the skin.
Anyone of any age can develop acne, but it appears more troublesome in teenagers, mainly because it can be triggered by hormonal changes. It is also worsened by some medicines and cosmetics. There is no evidence that acne is affected by fatty foods, such as chocolate, although diets high in sugar may worsen acne.
All acne is helped by regular cleansing of the skin and hair with gentle non drying cleansers that are readily available from any community pharmacy. Mild acne with blackheads and occasional small pimples will be improved by gentle cleansing. Avoid squeezing and picking at the spots as this can cause scarring.
Moderate acne may require over-the-counter preparations that dry up skin oils. More severe acne with reddened areas around the pimples, deep painful cysts or significant scarring may benefit from prescription medicines to treat these over a long period of time. Many of these medicines have side effects and advice about the use of these medicines is also available from your community pharmacist.
People who are using prescribed medicines to treat acne also need to cleanse their skin using the same cleansers that are used for mild acne. You can get effective treatment from your community pharmacy for all types of acne.
Acne is a condition that may affect you for many years and, unfortunately, there is no wonder cure. But the damage to your skin and self esteem can be minimised by following the treatment and advice of your local community pharmacist.
When you step into a pharmacy, you expect more than just shelves of products. You want support, knowledge, and a familiar face. At Family Pharmacy Granville, we believe a pharmacy should feel like part of your everyday life. Like a trusted neighbour who’s always there when you need them.
We are not just a chemist or a warehouse. We are part of your community. And we’re proud to support your health, your family, and your future with genuine care.
A community pharmacy is about people, not just prescriptions. It is a place where locals come for honest answers, everyday health solutions, and friendly service. Whether you are picking up your regular medication, asking about a new script, or looking for relief from seasonal allergies, we are here to help with practical advice you can count on.
At Family Pharmacy Granville, we serve more than just customers. We support families from all walks of life. Our team takes the time to listen, explain and recommend what is best for you. It is this personalised approach that sets a real pharmacy apart from the rest.
In a busy world filled with large chain stores and self-serve checkouts, the local touch is often missing. But health is personal. It affects your body, your peace of mind, and the people you love. That is why community pharmacies still matter.
Our Granville team understands the cultural diversity, languages and family dynamics that make this area unique. We help grandparents understand new medications. We explain side effects in simple terms. We work with local GPs to ensure your care is connected and consistent.
That is the role of a true community pharmacy. And it is a role we take seriously.
Being a chemist is more than stocking shelves. It means being prepared, being patient, and being present. Every interaction with our pharmacists and staff is based on respect, privacy and professional standards. We follow strict AHPRA guidelines so you always receive ethical and evidence-informed information.
We are also proud to offer essential pharmacy services like prescription dispensing, Webster-paks for easier medication management, health advice, and home delivery options for eligible patients. These services are designed to make your life easier, safer and more manageable.
As a family-owned and operated pharmacy, we understand the pressures families face. Health issues do not always come with a warning. Kids get fevers at night, pain can flare up on weekends, and stress doesn’t wait for business hours. That is why our team is ready with solutions that are practical and accessible.
Whether you need over-the-counter relief, a quick chat with a pharmacist, or help choosing the right baby care product, we’re here to guide you through it with care and compassion.
Our pharmacy is built on values that never go out of style — trust, reliability, and a genuine interest in your well-being. We are not just a chemist or a warehouse. We are your local pharmacy. And we are proud to be part of your journey, every step of the way.
