Cystic acne is a clear cut indication for oral retinoids e.g Isotretinoin. Oral retinoids are the most effective drugs for acne and are usually first choice in severe or moderately severe acne OR acne not responding adequately to traditional antiacne medications OR acne significantly affecting the quality of life of patients regardless of severity.
Oral antibiotics like Azithromycin can also be started to bring about rapid control of the inflammatory acne and also to take of the flare that may happen during the first few weeks of therapy with retinoids.

Suggest Treatment For Cystic Acne
Hello and welcome to healthcaremagic Cystic acne is a clear cut indication for oral retinoids e.g Isotretinoin. Oral retinoids are the most effective drugs for acne and are usually first choice in severe or moderately severe acne OR acne not responding adequately to traditional antiacne medications OR acne significantly affecting the quality of life of patients regardless of severity. Besides oral retinoids topicals like benzoyl peroxide and clindamycin gel should also be used. Oral antibiotics like Azithromycin can also be started to bring about rapid control of the inflammatory acne and also to take of the flare that may happen during the first few weeks of therapy with retinoids.
