Dr. Faheem Rao at Glow Med Clinics International provides dermatology consultations to assess acne concerns and discuss appropriate care options. The first step is a personalised assessment rather than using the same approach for every person.
What Causes Acne?
Acne develops when hair follicles become clogged with oil and dead skin cells. Inflammation and acne-associated bacteria may contribute to spots, redness and more severe breakouts.
Hormonal changes, genetics, certain skincare products and some medications can influence acne. Acne is not simply caused by poor hygiene, and harsh scrubbing may irritate the skin.
- Excess oil and blocked pores
- Hormonal changes and family history
- Inflammation and recurring breakouts
- Skincare products that may clog pores or irritate skin
Common Types of Acne
Recognising the type and severity of acne helps guide an appropriate treatment plan.
Blackheads & Whiteheads
Small bumps caused by clogged pores. Treatment may focus on reducing pore blockage and helping prevent new comedones.
Inflamed Pimples
Red, tender bumps and pus-filled spots may need a targeted skincare routine and, when appropriate, prescription treatment.
Deep or Painful Acne
Deeper lesions can cause discomfort and may increase the risk of scarring. Professional assessment can help guide treatment.
Acne Treatment in Wah Cantt: Options for Different Skin Types
The right acne treatment depends on severity, skin sensitivity, medical history, previous treatments and individual circumstances. During a consultation, these factors help guide the discussion.
If you are looking for acne treatment in Wah Cantt, a dermatology consultation can help identify your acne type and discuss suitable options for your skin.
Topical Acne Treatments
Depending on the assessment, options may include benzoyl peroxide, topical retinoids or other suitable prescription products to help reduce clogged pores and inflammation.
Medical Acne Treatment
Moderate or severe acne may require prescription medicines or a combination of treatments. A qualified clinician should determine suitability and monitoring needs.
Acne Scar Management
Once active acne is controlled, residual marks and scars can be assessed. Options depend on scar type, skin tone and individual suitability.
Some acne medicines require medical supervision or may be unsuitable during pregnancy. Treatment should be selected with a qualified clinician.

What to Expect During an Acne Consultation
A consultation helps identify your main skin concerns and establish a practical treatment plan.
Skin Assessment
The clinician reviews acne type, severity, distribution and any signs of scarring.
Personalised Recommendations
Suitable skincare, topical products, medicines or other options are discussed according to clinical needs.
Review and Follow-Up
Progress can be reviewed and the treatment plan adjusted when needed. Improvement often takes several weeks or longer.
Tips for Acne-Prone Skin
- Cleanse gently and avoid abrasive scrubs.
- Choose non-comedogenic skincare and sunscreen when possible.
- Avoid squeezing or picking spots.
- Use acne treatments as directed.
- Seek professional advice if acne is painful, persistent or leaving scars.
Self-care can support a treatment plan, but may not be sufficient for moderate, severe or persistent acne.

When Should You See a Dermatologist?
Consider a dermatology consultation if breakouts persist, deep painful lesions develop, acne leaves scars, over-the-counter products have not helped, or a product causes significant irritation.
