Acne is a common skin condition when hair follicles are clogged with oil and dead skin cells. It often results in the formation of pimples, blackheads, whiteheads, or cysts. Common causes of acne include excess oil production, bacteria, hormonal changes, and genetics. Minor cases of acne are often treated easily with topicals, while more severe cases may require a daily oral medication and a topical treatment.

Helpful tips for choosing the right acne treatment:
Start with topicals; add in oral medication only if needed.
Topical retinoids (Tretinoin) are an excellent place to start. Tretinoin helps prevent clogging of pores by encouraging the shedding of skin cells, speeding up cellular turnover, and slowing collagen breakdown. Tretinoin also helps to face dark spots from acne scarring.
Topical antiseptics (Clindamycin, Benzoyl Peroxide) kill the bacteria suspected of causing acne and also help reduce redness and inflammation.
For patients looking to treat mild to moderate acne and also prevent signs of aging, the combination of a topical antibiotic (Clindamycin) + Tretinoin is a great choice.
Spironolactone helps treat hormonal acne in women.
Spironolactone can decrease testosterone levels, so this may not be the right choice for male patients or patients desiring elevated T levels.
For moderate to severe acne that is resistant to topical treatment, a low dose oral antibiotic such as doxycycline can help to reduce acne-causing bacteria and inflammation.
