Acne Treatment in Nandyala

Evidence-based acne treatment for all skin types — from mild pimples to severe cystic acne — at Yashvini Skin & Hair Clinic, Nandyala.

What is Acne?

Acne is one of the most common skin conditions in India, affecting an estimated 85% of people at some point in their lives. It occurs when hair follicles become clogged with oil (sebum) and dead skin cells, leading to the formation of pimples, blackheads, whiteheads, cysts, or nodules — most commonly on the face, chest, back, and shoulders.

While acne is often associated with teenage years, adult acne is increasingly common — especially among women due to hormonal fluctuations. Left untreated, acne can lead to permanent scarring and significant psychological impact on confidence and social wellbeing.

Causes of Acne

💧Excess sebum (oil) production
🦠Cutibacterium acnes bacteria
⚗️Hormonal changes (androgens, PCOS)
🍽️High glycaemic diet (white rice, sugar, dairy)
😰Stress and sleep disruption
💊Certain medications (steroids, lithium)
🧴Comedogenic skincare or cosmetics
👨‍👩‍👧Genetic predisposition

Types & Symptoms

Blackheads & Whiteheads

Clogged pores that appear dark (open) or white (closed) on the skin surface. Usually non-inflammatory.

Papules & Pustules

Small raised red bumps (papules) or pus-filled spots (pustules). Moderate inflammatory acne.

Nodules & Cysts

Large, painful, deep lumps under the skin. Severe acne — most likely to cause scarring if untreated.

Acne Scars

Post-acne marks including red/brown discolouration (PIH), ice-pick, boxcar, or rolling scars.

Acne Treatments at Yashvini Clinic

Dr. Sireesha creates a personalised acne treatment plan based on your skin type, acne severity, and lifestyle. A combination of medical and procedural treatments often gives the best results.

💊

Topical Therapy

Retinoids, benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, clindamycin, and niacinamide-based formulations tailored to your skin.

💉

Oral Medications

Antibiotics (doxycycline), isotretinoin (Accutane), or hormonal therapy for women — prescribed after thorough evaluation.

🧪

Chemical Peels

Salicylic acid, glycolic, or Jessner's peels to unclog pores, reduce oil, and improve skin texture — in a series of sessions.

🔬

Comedone Extraction

Professional, sterile extraction of blackheads and whiteheads — safer and more effective than home squeezing.

💡

Laser & Light Therapy

Targeted light-based therapy to reduce acne-causing bacteria and inflammation in persistent or moderate-severe acne.

Acne Scar Treatment

Microneedling, fractional laser, chemical peels, and TCA CROSS for ice-pick, boxcar, and rolling scars.

Aftercare Instructions

1.Apply prescribed topical medications consistently — twice daily as directed

4.Avoid picking, squeezing, or touching your face unnecessarily
5.Wash your face twice daily with a gentle, soap-free cleanser
6.Avoid comedogenic makeup products — look for 'oil-free' or 'non-comedogenic' on labels
