Strong Rx: Over-the-counter benzoyl peroxide is a start but your physician can add topical clindamycin, or replace it with a retinoic acid derivative. The birth control pill makes many women remit if it is right for you. A systemic antibiotic that's appropriate for you is the next step, and if the acne is recalcitrant or deep and cystic, dermatologists have even bigger guns.
