Acne can be an incredibly frustrating and embarrassing part of life; from teens to adults, everyone has struggled with acne at one point or another. Thankfully, our team at WebDoctors can work with you to find a solution for your acne to help you regain your confidence.
Doctors who prescribe online acne treatment will consider a number of factors when making their decisions about the best course of action for treatment. Major factors include your age and the type and severity of your case of acne. The best online acne treatment for you will depend on these and other factors like what types of medications you have tried before. Our board-certified doctors can prescribe topical medications or those taken by mouth.
Different Antibiotic Options
- Isotretinoin. This is one of the strongest drugs used for those whose skin doesn’t respond to different treatments. It’s effective but can have some serious side effects. Patients who are prescribed this strong medication are often closely monitored because the side effects can include depression and suicide. The Food and Drug Administration requires a risk management program for those taking Isotretinoin.
- Anti-Androgen Agents. This is often considered for adolescent girls or women when antibiotic options aren’t effective. It helps block the androgen hormones on sebaceous glands. It can have some side effects, including tender breasts or painful periods.
- Oral Contraceptives. Oral contraceptives are ideal for some women as they combine estrogen and progestin, helping to manage hormones that may lead to the development of acne. It can take a few months to see any improvements, so they are often used along with other medications for the first few weeks.
- Oral Antibiotics. Taking oral antibiotics can be beneficial for reducing bacteria and inflammation. Tetracycline is usually the best choice for acne treatment among oral antibiotics.
