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.
| Feature | Acne | Rosacea |
| Primary Cause | Clogged pores, bacteria, hormones | Immune system + vascular triggers |
| Main Symptoms | Pimples, blackheads, cysts | Redness, flushing, visible vessels |
| Blackheads / Whiteheads | Yes | No |
| Age Group | Teens & adults | Usually adults 30+ |
| Triggers | Oily skin, hormones, diet | Sun, heat, spicy food, alcohol |
| Treatment Approach | Antibiotics, retinoids, laser | Anti-inflammatory, laser, sunscreen |
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.
Grades of Acne How Severe Is Yours?

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.
