There is no one time solution for acne. For acne, you need to be constantly taking care care of your skin till at a particular age, there is a tendency for new acne to form.
Acne is a recurrent condition and once your acne is brought under good control with oral and topical antiacne medicines, you should still continue to use a cream/gel e.g topical retinoid for maintenance of improvement. Topical retinoids are ideal for maintenance of improvement because they are comedolytic as well as antiinflammatory, thereby preventing the formation of new acne.
Specific Anti-acne treatment:
-Oral Antibiotics: For inflammatory acne(papules and pustules) i advice my patients to start with one of the oral antibiotics leither Azithromycin/ Doxycycline OR Minocycline.
-Topical treatment: Is a valuable adjunct to any form of acne treatment. Mainly two classes of drugs are used topically
Topical Retinoids: Either Adapalene 0.1%/ Tretinoin 0.025% OR Azaleic acid (10%/20%) at bed time.
