How to Treat Severe Acne

Nothing seems to clear up your severe acne. In this video well, look at your options. Your dermatologist will help determine the best course of action to treat your severe acne. You may need to be patient during this process because it can take time to find a treatment method that works for you. Your doctor may prescribe antibiotics like Tetracycline and Doxycycline, gradually reducing your dosage as your acne clears up. Patients who do not respond to antibiotics maybe prescribed Isotretinoin, a medication that is marketed both as a generic and under the brand name Accutane. Isotretinoin reduces oil production, clears clog pores, kills bacteria and soothes inflammation. After 120-week course of treatment most patients remain acne-free. Potential side-effects include hair loss and dry mouth and skin. More serious effects include depression, suicidal thoughts and birth defects but ask your doctor for a complete list of the risks.
