When are oral antibiotics prescribed to treat acne?

The choice between topical and systemic medications is generally based on the presence, extent, and severity of inflammatory lesions. For best results, antimicrobial agents should be combined with topical retinoids and a topical benzoyl peroxide (BP) product. This increases efficacy, shortens the treatment duration, and helps prevent antibiotic resistance.

The main indication for oral antibiotics is moderate-to-severe inflammatory acne. Tetracyclines are the most commonly used family of antibiotics, a class of antibiotics known as macrolides, and a third class called sulfonamides. Topical antibiotics and BP are indicated in people with mild-to-moderate inflammatory acne.

It is highly recommended that topical treatments, such as with BP and azelaic acid or retinoids, be used in combination with oral antibiotics in order to speed the treatment results and to minimize the resistance of the bacteria to the antibiotic.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
