Medication therapy for acne at Centro Dermatológico IDDA in Santiago, Dominican Republic, provides a medical path to clearer skin. Treatment is led by Dr. Jessica Mercedes Núñez, an internist-dermatologist and dermatologic surgeon. Her approach combines clinical dermatology with surgical expertise to manage different acne severities.
The clinic treats various forms of acne, including comedonal, inflammatory, and nodular types. Care also extends to adult acne, which often requires specific hormonal management. Dr. Jessica Mercedes Núñez designs every plan based on the patient's age and skin tolerance. She also evaluates the risk of permanent scarring before choosing a method. Patients receive a physical exam and a full review of their clinical history during the first visit.
Treatment plans use evidence-based medications to target the root causes of breakouts. The clinic provides several options depending on the diagnosis:
Most patients see visible skin improvement after 6 to 8 weeks of consistent medication use. Success depends on following a strict skincare routine. Dr. Jessica Mercedes Núñez advises using only non-comedogenic products that do not clog pores. Patients must use sun protection daily because many acne medications increase sun sensitivity. It is also vital to avoid squeezing or picking at lesions to prevent deep scars.
Dr. Jessica Mercedes Núñez is a member of the Dominican Society of Dermatology. She completed specialized training in Aesthetic Dermatology at the University of Alcalá in Spain. Her dual background in internal medicine and surgery allows her to manage complex skin conditions safely. For patient convenience, the clinic offers both in-person visits and follow-up support via WhatsApp teleconsultation.

The clinic operates through five key service areas:
Dr. Jessica Núñez leads the surgical and oncology services. Her focus is early detection of skin cancer. The clinic manages localized skin cancers through planned surgical excision. Surgeons use flaps and grafts to reconstruct defects after removing a lesion. Most procedures are outpatient with local anesthesia.
For tissue confirmation, the clinic performs several biopsy methods:
The surgical team studies every removed specimen through histopathology. This confirms accurate diagnosis and clear margins.
Dr. Natalie López heads aesthetic services. She focuses on skin quality and volume restoration. The clinic uses Botox® to treat dynamic expression lines on the forehead and around the eyes. Specialists also provide facial rejuvenation using hyaluronic acid, collagen biostimulators, and chemical peels. After a medical evaluation, patients may receive a Hollywood Laser Peel to improve skin texture.
Pediatric dermatology care is available for infants, children, and adolescents. Specialists treat common childhood conditions such as atopic dermatitis, molluscum contagiosum, and juvenile acne. The pediatric team also monitors infant hemangiomas and pigment changes like vitiligo.
The clinic uses high-resolution digital tools to monitor skin health and detect abnormalities early. Specialists perform digital dermatoscopy and mole mapping to track changes in pigmented lesions over time. This helps doctors decide if a mole needs immediate biopsy or regular monitoring.
Trichoscopy is used within the trichology unit to diagnose alopecia subtypes. These include androgenetic alopecia and alopecia areata. This imaging examines the scalp and hair shafts at high magnification. For inflammatory conditions like psoriasis, the clinic combines clinical history with microscopic examination of skin samples.
International patients receive care primarily in Spanish. For those who cannot travel for every visit, the clinic offers teleconsultation via WhatsApp. This allows for remote evaluation, treatment planning, and follow-up monitoring. Doctors provide structured aftercare guidance digitally – including wound care instructions and signs of infection to watch for.
