Melasma, Keloids & Hidradenitis Suppurativa Treatment in Pune

Skin pigmentation problems and chronic inflammatory scarring conditions like Melasma, Keloids, and Hidradenitis Suppurativa can affect confidence, comfort, and quality of life. Because these are three separate dermatological conditions with different causes, a single generic "skin treatment" rarely works. This guide explains what each condition is, why it happens, and how a qualified dermatologist in Pune treats it — so you know exactly what to expect from a Melasma treatment Pune consultation, a Keloid injection Kothrud session, or Hidradenitis Suppurativa doctor Pune visit.

What Is Melasma and How Is It Treated in Pune?

Melasma is a common form of facial pigmentation that appears as brown or greyish-brown patches, usually across the cheeks, forehead, upper lip, and jawline. It is triggered by sun exposure, hormonal changes (pregnancy, contraceptive pills), genetics, and heat. Melasma treatment in Pune typically combines:

• Topical depigmenting agents (tyrosinase-inhibiting creams) prescribed after skin-type assessment

• Customised chemical peels for epidermal pigmentation

• Q-switched laser or low-fluence laser toning for resistant melasma patches

• Strict photoprotection protocol, since melasma can relapse without daily sunscreen

• Oral and topical antioxidants to control pigment-triggering inflammation

Because melasma is a chronic, relapsing pigmentation disorder, Dr. Rashmi Aderao's clinic in Kothrud, Pune focuses on regulating pigment-producing cells rather than one-time bleaching, which reduces recurrence.

What Are Keloids and What Keloid Treatments Work Best?

A keloid is a raised, thickened scar that grows beyond the original wound boundary, often after ear piercings, acne, surgery, burns, or minor injuries. Unlike normal scars, keloids do not shrink on their own and can keep enlarging. Effective keloid treatment in Pune includes:

• Intralesional keloid injections (corticosteroid or combination therapy) to flatten and soften the scar — commonly searched as Keloid Injection Kothrud

• Silicone-based pressure therapy for maintenance after injections

• Cryotherapy for smaller, localized keloids

• Surgical excision combined with adjuvant therapy for large or recurrent keloids, to reduce regrowth risk

• Laser-assisted scar remodeling for texture and colour improvement

Keloid recurrence is common when treated incorrectly, so a structured, multi-session keloid injection protocol under dermatological supervision — rather than a single procedure — gives more predictable, lasting results.

What Is Hidradenitis Suppurativa and How Is It Managed?

Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS) is a chronic inflammatory skin condition that causes painful lumps, abscesses, and tunnels (sinus tracts) in areas with sweat glands and skin folds — commonly the underarms, groin, buttocks, and under the breasts. It is frequently misdiagnosed as recurring boils. A Hidradenitis Suppurativa doctor in Pune typically manages HS through:

• Accurate staging (Hurley Stage I, II, or III) to decide the right treatment path

• Oral and topical antibiotics or anti-inflammatory therapy for active flares

• Hormonal and lifestyle modification (weight, smoking cessation, friction reduction)

• Intralesional injections for painful nodules

• Biologic therapy for moderate-to-severe, treatment-resistant HS

• Minor surgical deroofing or excision for chronic sinus tracts in advanced HS

Because HS is a long-term inflammatory condition and not a simple infection, early diagnosis at a dedicated clinical dermatology clinic in Pune helps prevent progression to more severe, scarring stages.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can melasma be permanently removed in Pune?

Melasma can be significantly lightened and controlled with the right combination of peels, laser toning, and topical therapy, but because it is hormonally and sun-triggered, ongoing sun protection is needed to prevent recurrence — complete one-time "removal" is not realistic for any clinic.

How many sessions does a keloid injection need?

Most keloids respond over 3–6 sessions of intralesional injections spaced 3–4 weeks apart, depending on the keloid's size, age, and location.

Is Hidradenitis Suppurativa curable?

HS is a chronic condition without a single permanent cure, but with early diagnosis and a structured treatment plan — medical therapy, lifestyle changes, and, when needed, minor surgery — flare frequency and severity can be reduced substantially.
