A member asked:

What's the best acne medication for someone with really sensitive skin?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Topical: Talk with your physician; one option for folks like you is simple topical clindamycin. The oral contracepetive pill often stops acne in women who can take it and want it. Systemic antibiotics may be right for you if a topical antibiotic fails. Good luck.
