Acne Medication: Anti Acne medication are pretty safe. There topical medication like Retin A, (tretinoin) Benzoyl Peroxide. Oral medication are antibiotics and hormonal pills. You may have to make some life style changes - hydration and balanced diet. There are other medication available as well which are stronger. I am not sure what kind of job you do. But trying topical medicine will be pretty safe.
