Acne
Acne is one of the most common skin conditions worldwide. It’s also one of the most treatable. Whether you've been dealing with it for years or just started noticing breakouts, our dermatologists can help you get to the bottom of it.
What is acne?
Acne is a skin condition that occurs when hair follicles become plugged with oil and dead skin cells. It can cause whiteheads, blackheads, pimples, and deeper cysts, most commonly on the face, forehead, chest, upper back, and shoulders.
Acne affects people of all ages, not just teenagers. Adult acne is increasingly common, especially in women, and can be triggered or worsened by hormones, stress, certain skincare products, and other factors. It can also leave lasting marks and scarring if left untreated.
The good news is that acne responds well to treatment. Our dermatologists are experienced in creating individualized care plans that address not only the breakouts themselves but also the underlying causes driving them.
Excess Oil Production
Hormonal Changes
Bacteria
Dead skin cells
Certain products and medications
Whiteheads
Blackheads
Papules
Pustules
Nodules
Cystic lesions

Look, I got there early and was taken in early…staff, reception, nurse, oh, and Dr Kenny, very professional…
Leon A.
Did not have to sit but a few minutes. Appointment was at 8:30, I arrived about 8:35 and was back in room within 10 minutes. Took only about 30 minutes in and out. Had wart removed. Excellent service. Recommend this place.
Susan C.
Such a great practice! I felt valued from the moment I entered until I left. Everyone really cared about my treatment. Everyone listened to and addressed any concerns that I had. I highly recommend them. Plus, the waiting room was very comfortable with desk areas in case you needed to work and with a coffee station.
Kenneth L.
They were fabulous. I didn't just feel taken care of. I felt loved and part of the fa6

I was pretty worried going into my appointment, but my care provider Valery immediately put me at ease. She was kind, professional, and took the time to address my concerns. The staff were also very friendly and easy to communicate with throughout the visit and after my visit when I had a question about my billing. Overall, a really positive experience!

Matt M.
Excellent Experience! The staff and doctor were very friendly and knowledgeable. They took great care of me during my procedure,and I really appreciated that Dr. Malone personally checked in afterward to make sure I was doing okay. Nurse Shannon was also wonderful—very kind and attentive throughout the visit. Highly recommend!
Sonia
Laren and her staff are wonderful—warm, welcoming, and very laid back, which immediately puts you at ease. I came in for a three-month follow-up and also brought up a new concern. They didn’t hesitate for a moment to address it and made sure all my needs were taken care of. Laren is both professional and down-to-earth. Her relaxed approach makes the visit feel more like catching up with someone who truly cares rather than a typical doctor’s appointment—which I really appreciate. Highly recommend!
linda h.
Excellent service from start to finish! I would highly recommend this clinic to my friends and family. 🧡

Spencer B.
Friendly staff and helpful. My Daughter loves Juliea.
Spencer B.
Registration wanted birth place. They are free to ask me to update my review and comment as soon as they remove the question. They didn't require it but that is irrelevant to my concern.
Spencer B.
My family and I have been seeing Dr. Kang for over 15 years at AA Dermatology. It's a little tougher to get in quickly to see him as he's usually booked at least 3 weeks out, but he's worth the wait if it's not urgent. The office staff is pleasant but I wait at least 10 minutes on hold every time calling the office before I am able to speak with someone. Overall, it's a great office experience and we will continue to see Dr. Kang.
Spencer B.
Great experience with all the staff. Dr. Dawn took the time to answer all my many questions. Her assistant was also very helpful. Will definitely recommend this practice and return.
Spencer B.
Dr. Briley and staff were fantastic. So much so, they are my new dermatologist.
Spencer B.
I highly recommend Dr. Zook. He is very confident in his physician expertise and doesn't discriminate against minorities. I noticed that he has a very diverse staff working under his leadership, which is inspiring. He is not afraid to care for obese patients. Very kind and thorough when explaining things to you.
Spencer B.
GREAT!
Spencer B.
Had to get a cyst removed. Dr Ferrera was thorough in his exam. He looked at multiple skin conditions I had concern about , and he examined each one with care. He answered all my questions. Excellent bedside manner. The cyst extraction did not hurt all. The assistant was amazing. She also answered my questions. Front desk staff very kind. Did not have to wait long before I saw the Doctor.
Spencer B.
I wasn't even sure if the sore on my finger was something a dermatologist could treat. But Dr. Connolly diagnosed right away and started treatment on a growing wart. The body scan didn't reveal any other problems.

Spencer B.
I had surgery on my back today to remove a melanoma. Dr. Harvey and the nurse (I am so sorry I did not get her name) were absolutely wonderful. I felt comfortable and cared for the entire time. Now, at 11:00 p.m., I have no pain and have taken no pain medication. If the operation was not so serious I could honestly say I enjoyed it! Have all the information and medication I need to heal me quickly and completely.
Spencer B.
Very professional staff
Spencer B.
The Valrico office is the best! All the admin girls are so sweet, organized and on top of it. Frank, PA & his medical assistants are all extremely thorough and do a great job of examining and explaining. I highly recommend this office! Thanks for consistently great service.
Spencer B.
Only reason the don't get 5* is because of the handicap ramp to get in the place. I take a couple clients who use rollators. The ramp is very long and pretty steep. But felt the were going to fall backwards & needed a rest as soon as we got to the door. Its also not covered so we got soaked when it started pouring.
Spencer B.
Had a great experience with my consult, procedure, and follow ups! I highly recommend Lindsey and this Clinic. They truly want to see results and will go the extra mile to recommend the proper type of product for you..can’t wait for my Dysport consult!
Spencer B.
Great experience! Doctor was really informative. I would highly recommend them.

Spencer B.
Come to get your moles checked but stay for Kylie ... she is the manager and could not be a better fit for the position. she follows through with what she's going to do, she's compassionate, kind, and professional . I've been to Anne Arundel Dermatology in Annapolis, and it was a wonderful experience, and I know that my appointment next week will be the same here in Easton.
Spencer B.
It is always a good experience to visit always receive good care and my skin is staying clean and healthy
Spencer B.
My son and I both go here and like the doctors and location. No traffic and is easy to get into the office with plenty of parking. I had an issue with a refill and it sucks to be wrong but when you are, you Def gotta fix it. Orginal review, I had a refill issue and CVS showed me a failed attempt at a refill 1 week after it was called in on 1 of my prescriptions. But it seems maybe this was their mistake as AAD shows 1 prescription called in. Besides the confusion, I didn't know you have 1 year to get your refill so that trumps all and is why I couldn't get it filled. I tried 1 month after prescribed date the next year. This seems it was my mistake and CVS misinformation by them. Wouldn't be the first time but overall I should of got my refill before 1 year mark. Which I had no clue their was a time frame for refills.
Spencer B.
Staff here is excellent. Extremely professional and competent. They follow through, too. Have had skin cancer treated here, as well as skin tags. Today was suture removal from my last MOHS surgery some weeks back and here's how they patched me up.
Spencer B.
Good people great service,they know what to do
Spencer B.
I had such a great experience with Cassandra Cohen, PA-C, and the entire staff! From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed and at ease. Cassandra took the time to truly listen, answer all of my questions, and make sure my concerns were a priority. The care I received was top-notch, compassionate, thorough, and professional. Highly recommend!
Spencer B.
So friendly and very thorough!!

Dr. Aamir Hussain is an excellent dermatologist and is very personable. He listens intently, explains conditions clearly, and truly cares about his patients' well-being. I truly feel like I'm in good hands with Dr. Hussain.
Spencer B.
Traveled from Calabash to Whiteville because Shallotte was booked. I had a wonderful experience with that office. PA Julie took the time to explain what pre-melanoma was and why it was important to have it treated. She went over every step of the surgery and made sure I didn't have any questions. She was professional, personable and caring. Her assistant ( sorry I don't remember her name) was also very personable and caring. Both check in and check out were efficient. Thank you!
Spencer B.
Excelente trato de todos los profesionales desde la recepción hasta el doctor

Minimal wait, Friendly staff, thorough exam.
Spencer B.
I couldn't wait to share my review here of Carolina Skin Care, in Pinehurst, NC!! My experience was most excellent. This facility provided me with a wonderful staff of professional and expert dermatology. My procedure was performed by Dr. Benjamin Norton who did a terrific job! Dr. Norton deserves many kudos for making me feel relaxed and for having the best bedside manner. I sometimes don't enjoy going to the doctor's (who does, really?!), but he made me feel comfortable and quite at ease. He let me know what he was doing, answered questions, had a nice sense of humor, and a nice jazzy soundtrack to listen to during the operation. Dr. Norton is incredibly cool and marvelous in his field!! His assistant made them the perfect team. They were expert in their capacities, with affable personalities that made the whole experience go down easily!! Today, I went back and had my stitches removed by Maria, and she was so great. The entire staff of professional skin care specialists are top notch! And the receptionists are wonderful as well. I cannot help but give, Carolina Skin Care, rave reviews for their attention, expertise, personalities, and care! Thank you, everyone!!!!
Spencer B.
Frank the PA and the whole staff are all so great. They’re always professional and they worked hard to get treatment for my diagnosis despite my insurance being very difficult and providing terrible options for treatment. They really care and are friendly. I really appreciate them and recommend this office.

Charu, Sandra, and Claire are an extremely talented and well-educated group of cosmetic providers that will undoubtedly impress you with their passion and knowledge of aesthetic treatments. I have had the chance to have treatments done by each of them -- a full face BBL with Charu, Botox with Sandra, and filler with Claire. Every treatment has exceeded my expectations in terms of comfort and results. This new office is modern, spacious, and conveniently located. I highly recommend checking them out!
Spencer B.

Lillian was so fun! The staff here is amazing! They all deserve 10 stars instead of 5!
Spencer B.
Great staff! Very friendly and accommodating. And Dr. Valentin is Numero Uno! My only negative comment is that it can be hard to book appointments with her because she is so popular.
Spencer B.
Was my first time in the office..very nervous and anxious about it but was worth it..walked away happy ;) thank you
Spencer B.
I'm so pleased I went there. They are friendly and I felt I had great care. Her expertise is very impressive. She treated some pre-cancerous cells at my first appointment! I didn't give a 5 star because it took 3 months to get an appointment.
Spencer B.
Hannah was recommended to me by a family member and I have now recommended her to anyone who asks me about dermatologists. I have seen her three times, initially for a suspicious spot on my face that turned out to be basal cell carcinoma . I have gone to get annual skin cancer scans ever since and will continue to make a yearly appointment with Hannah. Everyone from the front desk to checkout is always pleasant and I just called with a prescription question and the staff member I spoke with was so helpful. Five stars for Carolina Skincare.
Spencer B.
Plan on yearly check up
Spencer B.
The best experience as a patient,,

I had a wonderful experience at Annapolis Dermatology Surgical Center. Dr. Miller and his staff were incredibly helpful, professional, and genuinely kind throughout my visit. I was quite nervous going into my procedure, but they took the time to reassure me and made me feel completely comfortable every step of the way. Their level of care and attention really stood out, and I truly appreciated how polite and supportive everyone was. I highly recommend Dr. Miller and his team to anyone in need of dermatologic surgery—they go above and beyond to ensure a positive experience.
Spencer B.
Charu is absolutely a superstar. She is so knowledgeable and knows the anatomy in and out. She has done by NLF filler and it was just perfect. She took her time to explain everything in detail. She was so careful in performing the procedure. The entire experience was wonderful. Love her.

Spencer B.
I highly recommend Meridiem DermSpa. Brittany Sanderson NP does all of my Botox and filler. I love that I can trust her 100% and she always delivers a gorgeous yet natural result. She genuinely cares about her patients and ensures that each treatment turns out beautifully! I have had cosmetics services routinely for almost 20 years, and I can wholeheartedly say that Brittany is the best. I’m an aesthetician and NP also, which I feel like may make me even more selective on who I trust for my cosmetic work. Brittany has gone above and beyond all of my expectations!
Spencer B.
This is a wonderful facility with friendly and competent staff.
Spencer B.
Pleasant staff but I wish they came to Berlin more than 2X/month for Mohs surgery!
Spencer B.
Jennifer B. In the PSC is amazing! She was super patient with me. She helped me resolve my issues/questions I was having. She made sure to actually take the time to help. Jennifer was very helpful as if she was physically there. Talk about good patient care !

Spencer B.
Always friendly and very little to no wait time.
Spencer B.
It was my first time at this location. Dr De Souza listened to my skin concerns and did a thorough exam and explained things to me in regards to any questions that I had. I've never had any negative experiences any time that I've been to any Academic Alliance in Dermatology office locations and will continue seeking care there whenever needed!
Spencer B.
Dr. Lutz was a the best Dermatologist ever! Highly Recommended! Great experience every time. She clearly listens and explains everything and is just so sweet and wonderful.
Spencer B.
Christina and Dr. Stephanie Pascale were amazing! They addressed all my concerns, completed a very thorough skin check and put me at ease. They biopsied 1 mole. The procedure was quick and surprisingly painless. Christina expertly numbed the area with lidocaine which felt like a very small pinch and then after that I couldn’t feel a thing during the biopsy! It is now several hours later and the lidocaine around the area is still in effect so the after procedure pain is also very minimal making it easy for me to go about my day. I will definitely be back yearly!
Spencer B.
Professional courteous and caring. By everyone. Very short wait times. With excellent follow-up. I highly recommend this place for anyone.
Spencer B.

The entire staff was professional, friendly, compassionate and quickly responded to any questions I had. I was having a complete body check and Dr Vo (PA?) was respectful, upbeat and kind and I was at ease with her presence. She reminded me of the importance of skin care and encouraged me to continue my home skin checks. Thank you for this positive experience. I highly recommend this professional medical office to be your first choice on the EasternShore for your annual body checks. Thank you again. KA

Spencer B.
As always, everytime I come for my six week appointments, I am greeted and treated with courtesy at the front desk when coming in the door. I don't have to wait long to be called.

I had the most wonderful experience with Britney Sanderson. She was very professional and knowledgeable concerning the procedures that I desired. Most especially she made sure I was comfortable, understood the procedures that she would be administrating, the after care and took the time needed to answer all of my questions. She made me feel very special. I was totally overwhelmed with the outcome! Thank you Britney.
Spencer B.
Very good health care and service at Atlantic Dermatology in Shallotte NC Dr Hunter and nurses are very caring and professional as well as office staff Thanks you

It took 3 months to get an appointment, but I wasn’t in a hurry anyway. I can see why now, they are very busy. Even though they were busy I was taken in for my exam at my appointed time and was treated very friendly by the doctor, her assistant and the office staff. A wonderful experience.

The staff, from the front desk to the doctor are very friendly. Not a long wait in either the waiting room or the examining room. (The building needs a good pressure washing, but that has nothing to do with the office inside😁)

Your Acne Questions, Answered
If over-the-counter products haven't improved your skin after six to eight weeks, or if you're dealing with painful cysts, scarring, or acne that's affecting your confidence, it's time to see a dermatologist. Early treatment helps prevent long-term skin damage.
Acne develops when pores become clogged with oil, dead skin cells, and bacteria. Hormones, genetics, stress, and certain medications can all contribute. Because the triggers vary from person to person, an accurate diagnosis is the first step toward an effective treatment plan.
Treatment options range from topical creams and oral medications to in-office procedures like chemical peels, extractions, and light-based therapies. Your dermatologist will recommend a plan based on your acne type, severity, and skin goals.
Yes, adult acne is more common than most people realize, particularly in women in their 30s and 40s. Hormonal fluctuations, stress, and changes in skincare routines can all trigger breakouts well beyond the teen years. Adult acne often requires a different treatment approach than adolescent acne.
Acne scars can be addressed through a range of aesthetic treatments, including microneedling, chemical peels, and laser therapy. These treatments work by stimulating collagen production and resurfacing the skin, reducing the appearance of pitting and discoloration. Our providers can help determine the right option for your skin type.
Research suggests that high-glycemic foods and dairy may worsen acne in some patients, though the relationship varies by individual. While diet alone rarely resolves acne, your dermatologist can help you understand whether lifestyle factors may be contributing to your breakouts.
Both conditions can cause redness and breakouts, but they have different causes and require different treatments. Rosacea typically appears as persistent facial redness and small, pus-filled bumps, often triggered by sun, heat, or alcohol. A dermatologist can accurately diagnose your condition and create a plan tailored to your skin.
