Acne can settle or clear up with the right treatment.
There are lots of products to treat acne available over the counter in your local pharmacy.
If these do not help, we can prescribe treatments for mild to moderate acne such as creams/ gels alone or in combination with oral antibiotics.
It is important to be aware that it can take 8-12 weeks of using your treatments before you will notice any significant improvement in your symptoms. This is because the treatments are not managing your current flare, but are affecting the skin cycle to try and prevent future flares in new skin.
If you are not seeing improvements at the end of this time, you should speak with a doctor to review your treatment.
