Mild to moderate noninflammatory acne responds well to topical rx. 
If you cross to inflammatory acne i would recommend oral rx. 
Antiboitics-doxycycline would be a good choice. 
Other modalities include hormonal rx, blue light/red light, peels and microderm.

Question 2

clinmyskin can be used to treat acne?

Accepted Answer

Clindamycin: Topical Clindamycin is a good treatment for not-very-severe acne, especially if confined to the face, but never use an antibiotic as your only acne treatment. Use topical benzoyl peroxide or a retinoic acid derivative as well.

Question 3

are there any home remedies to treat acne?

Accepted Answer

Maybe : If it isn't too bad you can buy a good cleanser and toner like neutrogena acne and moisturizer but don't forget the sunscreen . Just be sure you are using non-comedogenic make up that is oil free. Benzoyl peroxide is over the counter in several strengths. You can apply it for a couple of hours, wash it off then when tolerated try 4 hrs, then leave it on over night before washing it off.

Question 4

what's the most effective way to treat acne?

Accepted Answer

Depends...: ...On many factors. Each individual responds differently to different treatments, so there is no one "most effective" treatment. That's why one-size-fits-all regimens like proactive work well for some people and horribly for others. A dermatologist can tailor an individual treatment based on your skin type and the variety of acne you have. That, for you, will be the most effective.

Question 5

what is the most effective way to treat acne without any pills?

Accepted Answer

Topicals: Topical benzoyl peroxide works pretty well, topical retinoic acid derivatives and topical Clindamycin from your physician are pretty good as well. Nobody, especially not the healthtap team, wants to take oral medication or thinks health comes from a pill bottle. But if you have nasty acne & you want real results, we can offer you more than topical stuff.

Question 6

how to treat acne overnughy?

Accepted Answer

You can start: You're not going to make your acne disappear overnight even in this era of quick-fixes. If you have only a week before the prom, get with your personal physician and perhaps a combination of a topical agent (i prefer benzoyl peroxide) and an antibiotic (topical or systemic) may make you look better. You're big enough to be caring for yourself long-term, day by day. Good luck.

Question 7

how to treat acnes?

Accepted Answer

Some options...: For treatment of acne, over-the-counter benzoyl peroxide gel/cream is quite helpful. If desired, a doctor can add an antibiotic gel/cream such as Cleocin (clindamycin phosphate) gel. If more help is needed, prescription retinoids such as Retin-A or Differin gel can be used instead of benzoyl peroxide. Oral antibiotics such as tetracycline can be used also. If acne is quite severe, a dermatologist might use oral Accutane.

Question 8

i was wondering what are some ways to treat acnes and face break outs?

Accepted Answer

Get evaluated: Acne presents in several forms and can be multifactorial. Each requires its own individualized treatment regimen.  I would recommend a consultation with a board certified dermatologist for the appropriate therapy.

Question 9

how to treat acne fast !?

Accepted Answer

No quick fix: Start using topical benzoyl peroxide as tolerated and make an appointment with your physician to ask about prescription rx. Even in this era of fast solutions and big expectations, expect two weeks or longer for a good result with any acne rx, just as you know it still takes nine months to get a baby. Best wishes.

Question 10

how to treat acne naturally?

Accepted Answer

No proven method: No proven "natural" method, but eating a natural, healthy diet, getting sunshine and exercise, plus living stress-free... all help. For treatment, over-the-counter benzoyl peroxide gel is quite helpful. A doctor can add antibiotic gel such as clindamycin gel. If more help is needed, retinoids such as Retin-A or Differin gel can be used. Oral antibiotics such as doxycycline can also be helpful.
