Acne is more than just a teenage problem—it affects people of all ages and skin types. Whether it’s occasional breakouts or persistent cystic acne, the condition can be frustrating and impact your confidence. If you’re living in a city like Mumbai, with its heat, humidity, and pollution, you’re likely more prone to acne flare-ups.
Fortunately, you don’t have to suffer through acne or rely on home remedies that may or may not work. At Dr. Namrata’s Aesthetic Clinic in Kandivali East, we offer some of the most advanced, dermatologist-approved acne treatments in Mumbai that are customized to your skin’s needs.
What Causes Acne?
To treat acne effectively, we must understand what causes it. Acne occurs when your pores become clogged with oil, bacteria, and dead skin cells. This leads to inflammation, blackheads, whiteheads, or cystic pimples.
Common causes include:
-
Hormonal imbalance (especially in PCOS)
-
Excess sebum production
-
Poor diet or high glycemic foods
-
Stress and lack of sleep
-
Pollution and poor skincare habits
-
Using comedogenic skincare or makeup products
Types of Acne & Why It Matters
Different acne types require different treatment approaches.
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Blackheads | Open clogged pores with dark surface |
| Whiteheads | Closed clogged pores under the skin |
| Papules | Small red, inflamed bumps |
| Pustules | Papules with pus at the tip |
| Nodules | Deep, painful lumps under the skin |
| Cystic Acne | Large, painful pus-filled cysts |
At Dr. Namrata’s Clinic, we first analyze your acne type, triggers, and skin condition before designing a personalized acne treatment protocol.
The Best Acne Treatments Offered at Our Kandivali Clinic
