Acne Treatments & Overview

1. Topical Treatments: Over-the-counter or prescription creams, gels, or lotions containing ingredients like benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, or retinoids help unclog pores and reduce inflammation.
2. Oral Medications: Antibiotics, oral contraceptives (for hormonal acne), or isotretinoin (for severe acne) may be prescribed by a dermatologist.
3. Procedures: Dermatological procedures like chemical peels, microdermabrasion, or laser therapy can help improve acne and acne scars.
4. Lifestyle Changes: Practices such as gentle cleansing, avoiding excessive scrubbing, wearing non-comedogenic skincare products, and managing stress can help manage acne.

Consult a dermatologist for personalized acne treatment recommendations tailored to your skin type, severity, and individual needs.
