Acne treatment
Clearer skin starts with understanding why you are breaking out.
Goregaon West, Mumbai · Dr. Pooja Shrivastava, MBBS, MD (DVL)
Acne can include blackheads, whiteheads, inflammatory pimples, nodules or cysts. Treatment is selected according to the type and severity of acne, skin type, scarring tendency and individual factors.
May help with
- Active acne
- Comedonal acne
- Inflammatory acne
- Acne with post-inflammatory marks
What to expect
Treatment may include prescription skincare, medicines, chemical peels or procedures when appropriate. Improvement is usually gradual and treatment is reviewed and adjusted over time.
Important
Persistent, painful, nodular or scarring acne should be assessed rather than treated only with cosmetic procedures.

Aftercare
- Sunscreen every morning, reapplied if you are outdoors
- Keep the routine simple, with no scrubs and no new actives without asking
- Do not pick or squeeze; this is what turns acne into scars
- Take oral medication exactly as prescribed, including the full course
When this isn't suitable
- Pregnancy or breastfeeding: several acne medicines are not safe, so tell us first
- Active skin infection or open wounds in the treatment area
- Recent isotretinoin use may delay certain procedures
Tell us about any medication, pregnancy or recent treatment before booking. Nothing proceeds until Dr. Pooja has assessed you.
