A member asked:

Hi iam just wondering what can clear acne forever do creams or pills and what does birth control help with thanks ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Quite a few options: For treatment of acne, over-the-counter benzoyl peroxide gel/cream is quite helpful. If desired, a doctor can add an antibiotic gel/cream such as Cleocin (clindamycin phosphate) gel. If more help is needed, prescription retinoids such as Retin-A or Differin gel can be used instead of benzoyl peroxide. Oral antibiotics such as tetracycline can be used also. Birth control pills help some women, by altering hormones.
