The medical treatment of acne can vary based on the severity and type of acne. Here are some common treatments:

Topical Treatments

1. Benzoyl Peroxide: Reduces bacteria and has anti-inflammatory properties. Available over-the-counter in various forms like gels, cleansers, and creams.
2. Retinoids: Help unclog pores and reduce inflammation. Prescription options include tretinoin, adapalene, and tazarotene.
3. Antibiotics: Reduce bacteria and inflammation. Examples include clindamycin and erythromycin, often combined with benzoyl peroxide.
4. Salicylic Acid: Helps exfoliate the skin and unclog pores. Found in many over-the-counter acne products.
5. Azelaic Acid: Reduces bacteria and inflammation and helps with hyperpigmentation.

Oral Treatments

1. Antibiotics: For moderate to severe acne, oral antibiotics like doxycycline, minocycline, and tetracycline can reduce bacteria and inflammation.
2. Hormonal Treatments: For women, oral contraceptives and anti-androgens like spironolactone can help regulate hormones that contribute to acne.
3. Isotretinoin: A powerful oral retinoid for severe or cystic acne that hasn’t responded to other treatments. It has significant potential side effects and requires close monitoring by a dermatologist.

Other Treatments

1. Steroid Injections: For large, painful cysts, corticosteroid injections can quickly reduce inflammation and pain.
2. Chemical Peels: Exfoliate the skin and can improve the appearance of acne and acne scars.
3. Laser and Light Therapies: Reduce bacteria and inflammation and can improve acne scars.
4. Extraction Procedures: Performed by a dermatologist to remove large cysts or persistent comedones (blackheads and whiteheads)
