Acne: Why It Keeps Coming Back, And What Actually Clears It
Blackheads, pimples and painful cysts in teenagers and adults: what drives them and how a dermatologist brings them under control.
Understanding It
About Acne
Acne happens when oil, dead skin cells and bacteria block the pores. The result ranges from blackheads and whiteheads to red, inflamed pimples and, in more severe cases, deep painful nodules and cysts. It is most common between 13 and 30, but adult acne, especially along the jawline and chin in women, is now one of the commonest reasons patients visit Skin Essence in Kalyani Nagar.
Most acne responds well once its type and drivers are identified. The trouble is that many people spend years cycling through face washes, chemist creams and salon facials first, and some of those, particularly steroid-based fairness creams, make things worse. Treating acne properly and early also matters for another reason: it is far easier to prevent dark marks and pitted scars than to reverse them later.
Our Approach
How We Treat Acne At Skin Essence
- 01
Identify the type
Dr. Daksha Patel grades the acne, looks for hormonal or lifestyle triggers, and reviews every product you use so anything harmful can be stopped.
- 02
Medical treatment
Prescription creams suited to your skin, with oral antibiotics, hormonal therapy or isotretinoin for moderate to severe acne, monitored with blood tests where needed.
- 03
Peels that speed up clearing
A course of Black Peel, Jessner, Azelac M or Salipeel, or Vono Prime from our Korean peel range, chosen for your skin type and the kind of acne you have.
- 04
Protect against marks and scars
Once the skin is clear, a simple maintenance routine keeps it that way, and any marks or scars left behind are treated in a second phase.

At Home
What You Can Do, And When To See Us
What helps at home
- Wash twice a day with a gentle cleanser; scrubbing and over-washing make acne worse.
- Use a light, non-comedogenic moisturiser and sunscreen, even on oily skin.
- Do not squeeze or pick; this is the main cause of dark marks and pitted scars.
- Keep hair oil, helmets and phone screens off the face as far as possible.
See a dermatologist if
- Acne has not settled after 6 to 8 weeks of a basic routine.
- Pimples are painful, deep or cystic.
- Marks or pits are being left behind.
- Breakouts flare with your cycle, or you have irregular periods or excess facial hair.

Helpful Answers
Acne: Common Questions
If acne has not settled with a basic routine in 6 to 8 weeks, if it is painful or cystic, if it is leaving marks or scars, or if it is affecting your confidence. Early treatment prevents scarring.
Yes. Adult acne is common, particularly hormonal acne along the jawline and chin in women. Treatment considers hormonal triggers, skin sensitivity and the products you already use, and usually combines medical care with peels.
Acne can recur, especially hormonal acne, which is why we plan a maintenance routine once the skin is clear. Most patients stay clear with a simple routine and occasional review.
High-glycaemic foods, whey protein and, for some people, excess dairy can worsen acne. Diet alone rarely causes it, so we treat the skin medically and suggest specific changes rather than blanket restrictions.
