Consultant Acne Treatment for Eastbourne

Acne is not limited to the face, and acne on the back and chest can be just as stubborn and just as prone to scarring. We treat the full range, from blackheads and inflamed spots to deep cystic acne, wherever it appears, and manage scarring as part of the same care.

Every plan begins with an accurate diagnosis of the type and severity of your acne, which is what decides the right treatment.

The consultant reviews your history and what you have already tried, examines the affected skin, and sets out a staged plan with an honest timescale for improvement.

Treatment runs from medical-grade topicals and oral options through to isotretinoin for severe or scarring acne, prescribed and monitored closely throughout.

You see a consultant dermatologist from the first appointment. Dr Pallavi Gupta leads on acne and hormonal skin, and our consultants hold leading dermatology memberships. No referral is needed.

Our nearest clinics are in Brighton, at 10b Matlock Road (BN1 5BF) and Nuffield Health Brighton, Warren Road (BN2 6DX), around a forty-minute drive along the A27, or a direct train.

Acne on the back and chest is common, can be harder to reach and treat yourself, and is just as prone to scarring as facial acne. It often needs the same considered approach, including oral treatment or isotretinoin for more severe cases.

A consultant assesses the extent and severity wherever the acne appears and builds a plan to match, rather than treating body acne as an afterthought.

Eastbourne patients can book directly at the Brighton clinics. Fees are confirmed upfront. Some insurers no longer cover acne treatment, so many patients self-pay, and costs are always made clear first.
