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
How Is Acne Treated?

Dr.Sable has been my dermatologist for as long as I can remember. I wouldn’t go to anyone else. I am an equestrian athlete outside training or in the barn in the sun. He is very kind, personable as well as an extremely good listener to any concerns that I may have. On top of that, the entire staff are always pleasant, welcoming and always ensure that I am well taken care of. Thank you to the entire staff at Academic of Alliance of Dermatology at Swann office. Additionally, I would like to do a shout out to May-Lin. She always has a smile, all the while having her ducks in a row. Hats off darlin! 🎩

I can't thank this office enough I had to pay out of pocket to get diagnosed and to get a biopsy and the rates were very reasonable for someone with no insurance I'm extremely thankful for that. I was diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma Dr Johnson and his team did a fabulous job of treating it it was a painless procedure done reasonably quick and I feel very good about it I'm extremely thankful for Dr Johnson and his team. I would recommend this place to a family member or friend they are fabulous. Good communication aggressive with getting insurance situated and really good about getting an appointment as soon as possible

I have been going to the Anne Arundel Dermatology Clinic in Hagerstown for about 8 months. From the moment you walk in you can tell they care. The lobby is spotless.! Proceed to the front desk and you will meet some really nice, and professional receptionists. I have never had a moment where I thought someone was being rude or impatient checking me in, or checking me out after an appointment and scheduling the next. I see PA-C Ashley Kum. SHE. IS AMAZING.!.!.! She is so professional, polite and kind. She evidently loves her position there and what she does. I have never seen her without her smile. It makes a patient feel more relaxed knowing their provider is happy and in a good mood.! I've told my mother about my experiences there and now she wants to come see Ms Ashley Kum and get some things taken care of. I only gave 5 stars because that's the most I could give. But, this clinic should be getting 10 out of 10's from everyone.!!! Thank you soooo much for all you've done to improve my Quality of Life.!!! May The Lord bless each and every one of you.!!!
Mike R.
Wonderful place to go for all your skincare needs!

Mike R.
I had an appointment with Julie the first of this month. I have been seeing her for years now, and have never been let down. I went to the office in Rockingham, and cannot say enough good things about all the staff. But, somebody needs to take that "burnie" thing away from her. She came in the exam room with that thing strapped to her waist and hanging low. She drew it, burned me, and had in back on her side before I knew what was going on......... I had great care and enjoyed myself a lot, cannot say that about many Doctors office. Thanks to everyone there and keep up the good job. Fred

Academic Alliance in Dermatology is the best. Dr. Lam is great. He is so pleasant as is every one else in his practice from the minute you walk in. He takes his time with you and doesn't rush you.

Mike R.
Brought my 3 year old here to have his birthmark evaluated. They were running about an hour behind- totally fine- it happens. The practitioner we saw was fantastic, thorough, knowledgeable, and very good with my child. My complaint is regarding an undisclosed charge. During his exam she found molluscum lesions- she then applied a topical resin to around 7-10 lesions on his arms. She let me know that it can take up to 3-4 applications to be effective for the lesions (they are still present). I just received the bill for $322.98 for "destruction". I do take responsibility for not asking how much it was going to cost before we've met our deductible. However, it would have been good information to have seeing as I definitely can't commit to 3-4 rounds of $322 for lesions that generally self-resolve.
Mike R.
Professional and less formal atmosphere puts me at ease.,
Mike R.
Everyone was very friendly. Amy explained my issues so I could understand how to deal with them. I never have a problem going to Academic Alliance in Dermatology. They made me feel very comfortable.

Mike R.
The visit was short, screening once a year, making sure all is in check . All of the staff, from front desk to the PA who conducted the procedure were amazing! My visit for next year is already booked :) GO AND GET CHECKED!!! once a year visit can save you so much!!
Mike R.
I had a truly wonderful experience with Dr. Giblin. He performed a cyst excision for me and from the very beginning, I felt I was in excellent hands. He took the time to thoroughly explain the entire process and patiently answered all of my questions, which greatly eased my concerns. During the procedure, he consistently checked in to make sure I was comfortable. His calm and reassuring manner made the whole experience much easier than I had expected. After the procedure, he carefully reviewed the wound care instructions step by step to ensure I fully understood how to take care of myself at home. I was especially touched that he personally called me later that evening to check on how I was doing. That level of care truly meant a great deal to me. I feel incredibly fortunate to have found him. He is not only highly skilled, but also kind, attentive, and deeply committed to his patients. I would highly recommend Dr. Giblin to anyone seeking exceptional medical care. Patient : Zhenkun Zhao

This was my first visit at a dermatologist. The experience was so much better than I could have imagined. The physician assistant quickly put me at ease, her energy was warm and welcoming, her knowledge And ability to articulate in language that I can understand was exceptional. Under procedure was very quick. I’m thankful that the physician assistant had the skill set that she did inclusive of the way that she spoke to me simply telling me details throughout each process, such as you will feel a little stinging, you will feel a little heat, you will feel a wire across your leg. She let me know what was happening throughout and just simply had overall great communication. I would highly recommend this location to anyone and the most important part is I walked out of there feeling all my needs were met.
Mike R.
The staff is very courteous, thorough and efficient.

Mike R.
Paige is the best!!!
Mike R.
I trust Dr. Douchy for my annual full body checks, and highly recommend him for his knowledge and experience. His sharp eyes are quick to note any anomaly which can make a lot of difference in skin care. The front office is always helpful so the entire operation is a complete package.

I saw Dr Dhar today. I was pleasantly surprised. I was apprehensive about this visit, fearing they would be like the last dermatologist I went to. Dr Dhar is one of the best Dr's I've seen in awhile and I see many. Kind, awesome personality, friendly and knowledgeable. He was thorough in examining the issues I came to him for. He puts you at ease. Jackie, his assistant was awesome too. So sweet. I'm very happy to have found this practice.
Mike R.
I highly recommend Whitney! I have been her patient for 2 years and have complete faith and trust in her dermatology knowledge, surgery skills and treatment plans. She is also extremely thorough in her skin exams. Twice she has identified skin cancers that were missed by a previous dermatologist. She is very personable, as was her medical assistant, and does not rush my appointments.
Mike R.
I was super happy with my AA Dermatology Surgery Center experience. They were able to squeeze me in immediately when I noticed something scary that was growing on my face.

Mike R.
Dr. Sharnel Reed helped me to transform my skin in only two months! So grateful to her and the team.
Mike R.
Wait Times & Office Efficiency: Was in and out within 20 mins which was great as I'm a busy guy. Whitney Colella and her nurse Kristie was great. Whitney took the time and listened to my concerns and directed me right direction to help resolve my issues. Kara at the front desk was super friendly and made check in a breeze. Highly recommend and will be back.

When I met my Nurse Practioner, Mercy V., I was treated with respect, kindness and professionalism. She listened to all of my concerns and gave me valuable information to help me move forward with the issues that I was dealing with. I am very pleased with every experience with this practice and looking forward to a long term relationship! You will be very happy with your experience with this practice. Can’t say enough good things about them.
Mike R.
I enjoyed my visit the ARNP. She is exceptional, professional and friendly! Gave me a solution to my problem on my first visit and the shots didn’t even hurt, I actually didn’t feel them!
Mike R.
Awesome staff throughout this Annapolis location & Reid Raleigh is the absolute best. Started seeing him about 15 years ago. After I retired I decided to go to another one of their locations as it was closer to home. After 2 visits in 2 years at the Glen Burnie location I was not happy with their office staff or one of their physicians so this year I went back to the Annapolis location & Reid Raleigh. I highly recommend him & his staff.
Mike R.
I had a visit recently with Tao Kim at Anne Arundel Dermatology. The wait once I arrived was minimal. Tao and her assistant (truly sorry I don't remember her name) , but she was wonderful, making me feel comfortable and getting me ready for my full body check. I would recommend this practice and especially the providers I had.
Mike R.
The staff is very friendly and helpful considerate. They show that they care about you I recommend them to everyone.
Mike R.
I recently had my first visit to Anne Arundel Dermatology in Westminster for a small growth on my face. It was very easy to schedule an appointment right online and was also able to upload my relevant insurance information and identification. The office is very nice, and you are able to answer your health history questions right on a nice iPad like tablet. I saw Dr Marianne Dawn. She was very friendly and told me I had a seborrheic keratosis. She said she could freeze it off right then and there. So, five minutes later I was done! She told me how to treat it over the next couple weeks and now there is no sign of it whatsoever. I would definitely recommend the practice to anyone looking for a dermatologist and will use them again myself if I need any dermatological care.
Mike R.
I had my first appointment with Mercy Viator, and it was a fantastic experience! She was punctual, incredibly thorough, personable and attentive during my skin cancer check and subsequent biopsy. She and the nurse walked me through the aftercare and gave me clear instructions. I'm grateful for the level of care Mercy provided and would highly recommend her!
Mike R.
Wonderful staff from the front office, intake nurse, and Dr. A1 customers service. I was coming in terrified with my 5 yr old daughter and left breathing that she was going to be ok. 🤍

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.
