What are the best birth control pills for acne?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends on your acne: Topical tretinoin, oe adapalene are good for black comedones. Topical antibiotics are good for white comedones. If the combination of topicals are not effective and adding an oral antibiotic does not help either, consider Accutane which is oral isotretinoin
