Understanding Acne — Why It Needs Professional Care
Acne is more than just a cosmetic concern — it is a chronic inflammatory skin condition that affects millions of people across all age groups. In a tropical, humid climate like Pune's, acne tends to be more persistent due to increased sweat and oil production. Over-the-counter products and home remedies often fail to address the root cause, leading to prolonged breakouts, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (dark marks), and permanent scarring. At DermcareMD in Kothrud, Pune, Dr. Neha Athalye takes a scientific, evidence-based approach to treating acne — identifying the type (comedonal, inflammatory, cystic, hormonal), the triggers, and the best-suited treatment protocol for your skin.
Our Approach to Acne Treatment
Treatment at DermcareMD begins with a thorough consultation and dermoscopic examination to assess the severity and type of acne. Based on this evaluation, Dr. Neha Athalye creates a customised treatment plan that may include prescription-strength topical and oral medications, targeted chemical peels (glycolic, salicylic, or combination peels), microneedling with PRP for acne scars, and advanced laser therapies for stubborn pigmentation and scarring. We also address underlying factors like hormonal imbalance, diet, and skincare routine to prevent recurrence. Every treatment plan is tailored to your skin type and lifestyle, ensuring lasting results without harsh side effects.
