Acne and Rosacea Treatment in Indore

Struggling With Acne or Pimples in Indore?

Acne is one of the most common skin conditions in India  affecting 8 out of 10 people at some point in their lives. In Indore, the combination of humidity, pollution, hard water, and dietary habits makes acne particularly prevalent. Yet despite being so common, acne is also one of the most undertreated conditions  with many patients relying on over-the-counter creams that offer only temporary relief.

At Skinology, Dr. Ginni Chhabria  a dermatologist with 13+ years of experience and a Fellowship in Lasers & Skin Surgery from Singapore  provides a comprehensive, medically accurate diagnosis and personalised treatment plan for every acne patient. Whether you

What Is Acne? Understanding the Condition

Acne occurs when hair follicles become clogged with oil (sebum) and dead skin cells. This creates an environment where acne-causing bacteria (Cutibacterium acnes) proliferate, leading to inflammation and breakouts. Acne can appear as:

  • Blackheads and whiteheads (comedones)  non-inflammatory
  • Papules and pustules  mild to moderate inflammatory acne
  • Nodules and cysts  severe, deep, painful inflammatory acne
  • Hormonal acne  typically along the jawline, chin, and lower face
  • Adult acne  increasingly common in women aged 25–40

Without proper treatment, acne can lead to permanent scarring, pigmentation, and significant psychological distress. Early, correct treatment is always better than waiting.

What Is Rosacea? How Is It Different From Acne?

Rosacea is a chronic inflammatory skin condition that causes redness, flushing, visible blood vessels, and acne-like breakouts  primarily on the face. It is often mistaken for acne, leading to incorrect treatment that can worsen the condition.

At Skinology, Dr. Ginni Chhabria accurately diagnoses whether your condition is acne, rosacea, or a combination  and prescribes the right treatment accordingly. Self-medicating or using the wrong products can permanently worsen rosacea.

Acne & Rosacea Treatments Available at Skinology, Indore

Dr. Ginni Chhabria follows a systematic, evidence-based approach  combining topical, oral, and procedural treatments for the best and fastest results.

01

Medical / Prescription Treatment

The foundation of acne management is a correct medical prescription. Dr. Chhabria evaluates your skin, hormone levels (if needed), diet, and lifestyle before prescribing:

  • Topical retinoids  to unclog pores and promote cell turnover
  • Topical antibiotics / benzoyl peroxide  to control bacterial growth
  • Oral antibiotics  for moderate to severe inflammatory acne
  • Isotretinoin (Accutane)  for severe cystic acne, under strict medical supervision
  • Hormonal therapy  for adult women with hormonal acne patterns
  • Anti-inflammatory creams and azelaic acid  for rosacea management

02

Chemical Peels for Acne

Medical-grade chemical peels at Skinology exfoliate the skin, unclog pores, reduce oiliness, and fade post-acne pigmentation. Dr. Chhabria selects the right peel type and strength based on your acne grade and skin tone.

Peels used at Skinology:

Salicylic acid peel (best for active acne & oily skin) | Glycolic acid peel (skin texture & PIH) | Lactic acid peel (sensitive skin) | TCA peel (moderate scarring) | Combination peels for stubborn acne

03

Laser Acne Treatment

Laser therapy targets acne at its root by reducing sebum production, killing acne-causing bacteria, and reducing inflammation  without the side effects of oral medications. At Skinology, laser acne treatment is particularly effective for patients who cannot tolerate antibiotics or isotretinoin.

Laser options at Skinology:

Nd:YAG laser  targets acne bacteria and reduces oil gland activity | Carbon laser facial  deep pore cleansing + oil control | IPL (Intense Pulsed Light)  for rosacea redness & flushing | Fractional laser  for acne + scar combination cases

04

Comedone Extraction & Acne Surgery

Performed under sterile clinical conditions at Skinology, professional comedone extraction removes blackheads and whiteheads that contribute to acne. For large nodules or cysts, minor acne surgery or intralesional injections provide faster relief than waiting for medications to work.

05

Customised Acne Skincare Routine

A critical but often overlooked part of acne treatment is the skincare routine. Dr. Chhabria prescribes a personalised morning and night routine  including the right face wash, moisturiser, sunscreen, and actives  suited to your skin type, acne grade, and budget. This significantly improves treatment outcomes and prevents recurrence.

06

Rosacea Management

Rosacea requires a different approach from acne. At Skinology, treatment for rosacea includes:

  • Identifying and avoiding personal triggers (sun, heat, spicy food, stress)
  • Prescription creams  metronidazole, azelaic acid, ivermectin
  • Laser / IPL therapy  to reduce redness, visible blood vessels, and flushing
  • Medical-grade sunscreen  mandatory daily use
  • Long-term management plan to prevent flares

Common Acne Myths Busted by Dr. Ginni Chhabria

Myth

Fact

Acne is caused by eating oily food

Diet plays a role but is not the primary cause. Hormones, bacteria & clogged pores are the main drivers.

Acne will go away on its own

Without treatment, acne can persist for years and leave permanent scars.

Washing your face more often helps

Over-washing strips the skin and worsens acne. Wash twice daily with the right cleanser.

Toothpaste helps dry out pimples

Toothpaste can cause chemical burns. Use a targeted acne spot treatment prescribed by a dermatologist.

Acne only affects teenagers

Adult acne is very common, especially in women  often linked to hormonal changes, stress & lifestyle.

Moisturiser makes acne worse

The right non-comedogenic moisturiser is essential  even for acne-prone skin.
