Medical treatment

 Tip: If you are seeing a
               dermatologist and are
               receiving prescriptions,
               make sure that your
               physician/dermatologist
               is aware of any current or
               past medical conditions.

Treatments that promise “fast” or “over night” results often capture the attention of acne sufferers hoping for quick resolution. How ever the fact remains that acne does not clear over night.

It takes an average of 6-8 weeks for acne to see results and remember, continued treatment is necessary to keep acne from re-appearing and also remember what works for one person may not work for another.

There are two kind of medicine used for acne treatment.

• OTC (over the counter) medicine.

• Prescribed medicine.
  
  There are some herbal treatments available for acne too, but here we don’t consider them as medical treatment.
   

  Tip: If you do not see improvement in 4-6 weeks
                using OTC, then you should see your
                Pediatrician about using a prescription
                medication.

• Over the counter medicine
