About

Dr. Daniel A. Carrasco is a Board Certified Dermatologist practicing in Austin, Texas. He provides comprehensive dermatological care, including general medical, surgical, cosmetic, and nutritional dermatology. Dr. Carrasco places a strong emphasis on a nutritional approach to acne, noting that a low-glycemic diet can reduce acne by eliminating blood sugar spikes, which in turn reduces inflammation, sebum, and keratinocyte production. He views nutrition as a significant and modifiable factor, acknowledging that while dietary changes are challenging, they are 'absolutely possible.' Dr. Carrasco considers acne treatment imperative not only due to the risk of scarring but also because of the significant emotional and psychological burden it places on patients. He recognizes that individuals with acne often experience anxiety, depression, shame, and social withdrawal, believing the psychological impact may be more severe than the physical. Reducing this psychosocial impact is a guiding principle in his clinical management.

Questions, Answers, and Information Directly from Dr. Daniel A. Carrasco

Sourced directly from Dr. Daniel A. Carrasco's social posts and replies.

What are the different types of acne lesions and their characteristics?
Acne presents in various forms, including whiteheads, blackheads, papules, pustules, nodules, and cysts. Nodules and cysts represent the most severe form of acne; they are large, painful lesions found deep within the skin that can leave scars. Nodules are hard, tender lumps, while cysts are similar but often have a 'juicy center' that can be popped or extracted. Pustules are papules that have developed white or yellow pus-filled centers, typically red at the base and tender to the touch, commonly found on the face, shoulders, chest, back, and neck. They develop when white blood cells fight bacteria within a pore.

What other skin conditions can be confused with acne?
Rosacea and perioral dermatitis are two distinct conditions that may be confused with acne. While they are in the same family of diseases as acne and can also present with pustules, they are distinctly different.

Industry Payments

Federal law (the Physician Payments Sunshine Act) requires drug and medical-device companies to report anything of value they give to a physician — consulting and speaking fees, research funding, travel, royalties, and even meals. Medicare publishes all of it in a public database called Open Payments. We show it here so you don't have to go looking for it.

Total received (2025)

$238,534

Payments

505

Compared to peers

Substantially above average

Dr. Daniel A. Carrasco received $238,534 across 505 payments in 2025. That is higher than about 97% of the physicians here who received any industry payment. Most of it was categorised as compensation for services other than consulting, including serving as faculty or as a speaker at a venue other than a continuing education program, and the largest single payer was PFIZER INC..

What this means for your care

  • A disclosed payment is a business relationship, not evidence of wrongdoing, and it says nothing on its own about the quality of your care.
  • Most payments are small. Across the physicians listed on NavMDs, the single most common category is food and beverage at industry-sponsored talks.
  • Larger consulting, speaking or royalty payments mean an ongoing financial relationship with a company whose products your doctor may use or recommend. That is worth knowing about, and it is reasonable to ask about.
  • A fair question to ask: “Do you have a financial relationship with the maker of the implant, filler or device you're recommending — and what alternatives did you consider?”
