  • Medicated treatments mentioned below, can help you out ((the weaker strength-based versions are available over the counter, BUT you will require a clinical prescription if you need a stronger concentration)):
    • Benzoyl peroxide (kills acne-causing bacteria).
    • Salicylic acid (allows exfoliation).
    • Retinoids (prevents inflammation and pimple formation).
    • Azelaic acid (anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory).
    • Topical antibiotics (eliminates bacteria and decreases inflammation).
    • Caution: They tend to make your skin more sensitive to the sun, so with expert supervision, you would know what kind of sunscreen to use and in how much quantity, therefore read package instructions and consult a physician for beginners.
       
  • Advanced treatments: if OTC drugs or clinical prescriptions fail, then there are advanced options available too, such as laser resurfacing, chemical peel, dermabrasion and microdermabrasion.
