What is the best way of treating minor to moderate comedonal acne?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Start topical: With many comedones, i start with topical Clindamycin plus a retinoic acid derivative. A woman is often cleared by the oral contraceptive pill. If it's harder to manage, i add a systemic antibiotic appropriate for the person. Dermatologists have the big guns. Good luck.
