There is no cure for acne. It is instead a chronic condition that can be managed with topical medications, oral antibiotics, new light-based treatments and/or Accutane.
There is no single best treatment for this disease. Each person’s acne responds differently to various treatment alternatives. A dermatologist must develop an individualized regimen for each acne patient that best controls their affliction.
