What's good for bad acne?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dermatologist helps: For treatment of acne, over-the-counter benzoyl peroxide gel or cream is quite helpful. If desired, a doctor can add an antibiotic gel or cream such as clindamycin. If more help is needed, retinoids such as Retin-A or Differin gel can be used with or instead of benzoyl peroxide. Oral antibiotics such as tetracycline can be used also. If acne is quite severe, a dermatologist can help more.
