Acne & Rosacea

Acne

Acne is a common skin condition affecting teens and adults, caused by clogged hair follicles due to excess oil and dead skin cells. It often appears on the face, back, chest, and shoulders, with hormonal changes, genetics, and certain medications increasing the risk.

While there is no cure, treatments can reduce flare-ups, heal existing lesions, and prevent scarring. Topical options include benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, and retinoids. For more severe cases, advanced treatments like microneedling, laser resurfacing, platelet-rich plasma therapy, polynucleotides, exosomes, and PB serum may help.

Rosacea

Rosacea is a chronic inflammatory skin condition that mainly affects middle-aged adults, causing persistent redness, flushing, and sometimes acne-like bumps, usually on the nose and cheeks. Symptoms can come and go, with common triggers including sunlight, stress, climate changes, alcohol, and hot baths.

While there is no cure, treatments can manage symptoms and improve skin health. Dr. Farzana tailors treatments to individual needs, using topical agents for mild cases and oral medications or retinoids for more severe rosacea.
