Skin Disorders (Acne)

Here are cause, Symptoms, and treatment of Skin Disorders (Acne)

Hi, I am DR. Phanisri. I am a dermatologist. I am practicing in walk in clinic at Banjara road number 10 and also Madhapur city. Name of the clinic is Safe Derma over there and I get a lot of young crowd in Madhapur and more artist’s kind of clinic in Banjara clinic so I treat a lot of hair loss conditions and skin conditions acne and acne scars. I have a special equipment for acne scars also. I am experienced for 5 years now. Today I am going to talk about acne.

Acne commonly called as pimples. A pimple is the commonest problem nowadays. At least 40% of my practice consists of acne. A Pimple is a common problem in teens or twenties but it can extend over 30’s and 40’s also but except for the hormonal issues and all.

In acne, there are different types of acne. One is Papules acne stage 1, and stage 2 is a bigger one in the form of nodules and the third stage of acne is cystic acne which has very big, and a lot of puss and scaring. There are different reasons for acne. One is hormonal; the main cause. Hormonal in the sense that it may not be a pathological condition, it may not be a problem it is just a hormonal fluctuation in teens and 20’s. Acne can also happen due to thyroid issues also PCOD. PCOD is a female hormonal issue. So wherein the estrogen and progesterone come into the picture and acne in the teens and 20’s is common but they should be genetically prone for it to have acne at that stage. So I would say genes is the main reason for acne, though they are getting in teens and 20’s due to hormonal issues. Another thing is dairy and food products. Nowadays animals are fed with lots of steroids. They also get into the milk. People are getting affected with dairy products. Otherwise dairy would not cause dairy at all.

Another main reason for acne is stress. So it could be any kind of stress like bodily when it comes to starvation. Coming to the treatments of acne. Acne is treated according to its cause actually. One thing is the local application of creams and all that. And second is with the capsules if it is deeper acne or nodular acne or the cystic acne we can go with retinoid and come to the acne scars. There are different kinds of lasers and radio frequency machines for acne scars which can get back to at least 50% of the normal skin. So there is a lot of success rate, 90% for my treatments and main acne areas are facing, upper arms, back, and one more thing I wanted to mention is that the quacks and other doctors which are not very much knowledgeable about acne, are giving lots of steroids which will give momentary relief for the acne but the moment we stop the steroids it will flare up to a lot of extents even non-acne areas will be involved. If you use steroids so you have to be very particular about the use of medication.

Make doubly sure that you take it from a dermatologist and I practice in Madhapur Walk in Clinics. So you can consult me through Lybrate or you can directly walk into the clinics. Thank you.
