Acne & Rosacea Treatment
Customized treatment plans for acne, rosacea, and related skin conditions.
Acne and rosacea are among the most common skin conditions we treat at Rao Dermatology. While both conditions affect the face, they have different underlying causes and require distinct treatment approaches. Our board-certified dermatologists create personalized treatment plans to help you achieve clear, healthy skin.
Acne can range from mild comedonal acne (blackheads and whiteheads) to severe cystic acne that can cause significant scarring. We offer comprehensive acne treatment including topical medications, oral therapies, hormonal treatments, chemical peels, and laser therapy. For stubborn or severe cases, we may recommend isotretinoin (Accutane) under careful medical supervision.
Rosacea is a chronic inflammatory condition that causes facial redness, visible blood vessels, and sometimes acne-like bumps. Our treatment approach addresses both the visible symptoms and underlying triggers, using a combination of topical and oral medications, laser treatments for vascular redness, and personalized skincare recommendations.

Frequently Asked Questions
When should I see a dermatologist for acne?
You should see a dermatologist if over-the-counter treatments have not improved your acne after 2 to 3 months, if you have painful cystic acne, if acne is causing scarring, or if acne is affecting your self-confidence. Early treatment helps prevent permanent scarring.
Can rosacea be cured?
While there is no cure for rosacea, it can be very effectively managed with the right treatment plan. Our dermatologists help identify and avoid your personal triggers while using medical therapies to control symptoms and reduce flare-ups.
How long does acne treatment take to work?
Most acne treatments take 6 to 12 weeks to show significant improvement. It is important to be patient and consistent with your prescribed regimen. Your dermatologist will schedule follow-up visits to monitor progress and adjust treatment as needed.
