Acne treatment: Antibiotics are not the only treatment for acne. There are many topical therapies available- even laser treatments. You should express your concerns with your dermatologist and come up with a treatment plan together

Acne: You did not give enough information for us to know exactly what sort of acne you have. There is a big range of problems you can experience with acne. Some people may need antibiotics or other prescription medications. Some experience a dramatic improvement in their acne by increasing their intake of omega 3 supplements or by eliminating gluten or dairy. Best of luck to you!
