Hello. Thanks for writing to us at healthcaremagic Acne is a chronic condition in those who have it. Unfortunately there is no one time solution to it Acne treatment revolves around topical antibiotics like clindamycin/nadifloxacin, topical benzoyl peroxide and topical retinoids. Oral treatment includes antibacterials like doxycycline, minocycline and oral retinoids e.g isotretinoin. Since acne can reform once you are totally off medications, therefore, it is a common practice to continue with a maintenance regimen, commonly a topical retinoid e.g Adapalene, even after acne activity is under control, to prevent formation of new acne lesions. Retinoids are comedolytic and are ideal for maintenance. This maintenance with a topical retinoid may be continued till a particular age when the tendency to form new acne dies down on its own. I would suggest that you seek another appointment with your dermatologist regarding the treatment that is most suited for your kind of acne. Regards
