A member asked:
And which products are better for cystic acne all natural or benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid? i'm going in circles searching for the right one!
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Cystic Acne: For cystic acne you would need oral antibiotics like prescription solodyn (minocycline) or doryx. Topical prescriptions would be epiduo or ziana or acanya or retin a. If these medications are not effective then there is accutane. 80% of patients that take Accutane never have acne again.
