If you’re struggling with acne that doesn’t respond to over-the-counter creams or gels, or if your condition is moderate to severe, oral medication may be the next logical step in your treatment journey.
For many people, topical treatments provide only limited relief. In cases where acne is widespread or particularly stubborn, dermatologists often recommend oral medications. These can include antibiotics to combat bacteria and inflammation, or stronger options like isotretinoin for more severe outbreaks.
