Antibiotics for acne: Topical, oral, and other options - Medical News Today

Image
Antibiotics can help treat severe, painful acne that is related to bacteria on the skin. They can also help reduce inflammation more generally, which may ease swelling and reduce the risk of scarring. A dermatologist may recommend topical antibiotics, which a person applies to the skin, or oral antibiotics, which a person takes as a pill.
