01What Is Acne?
Acne is a common skin condition that happens when hair follicles become clogged with oil and dead skin cells. Bacteria and inflammation then lead to blackheads, whiteheads, red bumps, pus-filled pimples and, in more severe cases, deep painful cysts. It usually appears on the face, forehead, chest, shoulders and back.
Acne isn't just a teenage problem — many adults, especially women, experience breakouts too. The good news is that it can be controlled very effectively with the right medical plan.
02Types Of Acne
Comedonal Acne
Blackheads and whiteheads caused by clogged pores, without much redness.
Inflammatory Acne
Red, tender papules and pus-filled pustules caused by inflammation and bacteria.
Nodular & Cystic Acne
Deep, painful lumps under the skin that are more likely to leave scars — needs medical treatment.
Hormonal Acne
Breakouts around the jawline and chin that flare with periods, PCOS or stress.
03What Causes Acne?
- Excess oil (sebum) production
- Clogged pores from dead skin cells
- Acne-causing bacteria
- Hormonal changes — puberty, periods, pregnancy and PCOS
- Stress
- Heavy or pore-clogging cosmetics
- Some medicines
- Diet may play a role for some people (such as high-sugar foods)
04When Should You See A Dermatologist?
See a doctor if over-the-counter products haven't helped after a few weeks, if you have painful cysts or nodules, if acne is leaving marks or scars, or if it's affecting your confidence. Early treatment is the best way to prevent permanent scarring.
05How We Diagnose Acne
Your doctor examines your skin, identifies the type and severity of acne, and asks about your skincare, medicines, periods, stress and diet. If hormones may be involved, tests may be suggested. This helps us treat the cause — not just the spots.
06Acne Treatment Options
Topical Treatments
Prescription creams and gels that unclog pores, reduce bacteria and calm inflammation.
Oral Medicines
For moderate to severe acne, your doctor may prescribe tablets to control bacteria, oil or hormones.
Chemical Peels
Help clear clogged pores, reduce oil and fade post-acne marks.
Carbon Laser & Facials
Deep-cleaning treatments that control oil and calm active breakouts.
Acne Scar Treatment
Microneedling, PRP and laser to improve scars once active acne is controlled.

- Use non-comedogenic (oil-free) products
