How would manage my acne dermatitis on a daily basis?

ACNE: Control of acne during adolescence especially with comedones is with perzagel 5 or 10 percent at daytime and retin a (tretinoin) at h.S. Avoiding photosensitivity reaction. Oral antibiotics like tetracycline or Doxycycline can be added. Another approach is by using Cleocin -t lotion or Erythromycin cream.
