Acne is one of the most common skin conditions, affecting millions of people of all ages. However, not all acne is the same, and determining the right treatment requires expert knowledge. At Apollo Dermatology, our board-certified dermatologist, Dr. Arjun Dupati, has the extensive training and experience necessary to correctly diagnose and treat all types of acne.
Why Does the Type of Acne Matter?
Acne can present in various forms, including:
- Comedonal Acne (blackheads and whiteheads)
- Inflammatory Acne (red, painful pimples)
- Cystic Acne (deep, painful nodules under the skin)
- Hormonal Acne (adult acne, often along the jawline)
- Acne Rosacea (redness with acne-like bumps)
Each type of acne has different causes and requires a tailored treatment plan. Over-the-counter products and general skincare advice may not be enough to target your specific acne type effectively. This is where expert care becomes crucial.
The Importance of a Board-Certified Dermatologist for Acne Treatment
Successfully treating acne requires years of specialized medical training. Dr. Arjun Dupati is a board-certified dermatologist, meaning he has completed:
✅ Medical School – Four years of rigorous training in medicine
✅ ACGME-Accredited Dermatology Residency – A highly competitive program requiring three additional years of intensive study and hands-on experience treating skin conditions
✅ Board Certification – Passing a comprehensive exam to demonstrate expertise in dermatology
This level of training ensures that Dr. Dupati can accurately diagnose your acne and develop a personalized, evidence-based treatment plan.
