Acne—ranging from stubborn pimples and blackheads to painful cysts—can impact both your skin and confidence. At Dr. Y.V. Rao Clinics, located in the upscale Banjara Hills and serving clients across Hyderabad, we offer personalized, results-driven acne treatments. Whether you're dealing with oily skin, recurring breakouts, or acne scars, our expert dermatological care is designed to restore clear, balanced skin.
Understanding Acne: Causes and Types
Acne occurs when hair follicles become clogged with oil (sebum) and dead skin cells, often exacerbated by bacteria. Common types of acne include:
- Blackheads (Open Comedones): Visible, blocked pores lacking pigment.
- Whiteheads (Closed Comedones): Under-the-skin bumps without visible opening.
- Papules: Small, red, tender bumps.
- Pustules (Pimples): Papules with pus at tips.
- Nodules: Large, painful lumps embedded deep in the skin.
- Cystic Lesions: Painful, pus-filled deep lumps often linked to scarring.
Why Choosing Specialized Care in Hyderabad Matters
Hyderabad’s tropical climate, heat, and humidity can trigger acne flare-ups and complicate healing. For residents near Banjara Hills, ensuring access to consistent, advanced treatment is crucial. Timely intervention can prevent deep scarring and restore your skin’s natural clarity.
