Acne is a common skin condition (especially in teenagers and adults) wherein the skin is repeatedly affected because of plugging of its pores (i.e. opening of hair follicles underneath the skin) by the excess oil, dead skin cells, dirt, and bacteria build-up. Untreated acne can lead to emotional distress and affect self-esteem as it can leave behind permanent scars on the skin. Taking the help of a skin doctor can help to manage both acne and scar problem.

What are the Symptoms of acne?
Acne can be observed on any body part but mostly it is seen on the face, chest, back, neck, and shoulders. Some of them are inflammatory and may result in scarring while others do not cause inflammation.
What are the different types of acne?
Following are the different types of acne:
1. Blackheads (open comedones)
These are found open on the skin surface and are black colored due to the presence of oxygen in the air. Instead of trying to get rid of these by using home remedies one should rather get blackheads treatment in Hyderabad by a qualified dermatologist.
2. Whiteheads (closed comedones)- These remain under the skin surface and are seen as white bumps. Again, one should seek whiteheads removal treatment in Hyderabad by a dermatologist instead of trying to prick the skin or other home remedies. The procedure of extracting blackheads and whiteheads is known as comedones removal treatment which is provided by Dr. Keerthana Kalva, the best dermatologist in Hyderabad.
3. Papules- These appear due to infected or inflamed hair follicles, thereby resulting in small, red, raised bumps that can be tender to touch.
4. Pustules- These are small pimples that have a red base and pus-filled lesions (white-colored) at their tips.
5. Nodules- These are painful, large, solid lumps on the skin that arise from deep within the skin.
6. Cysts- These are pus-filled, painful, large lumps found beneath the skin.
The last 4 types can be very painful and stubborn to get rid of without seeking proper medical treatment. Dr. Keerthana Kalva is one of the best acne specialist doctors in Hyderabad who follows a holistic treatment approach to provide long-lasting results to her patients.
