Topical antibiotics for acne

July 27th, 2009

Treating acne with topical antibiotics can be a smart move because topical antibiotics work directly by killing bacteria which can lead to acne production.

Here are a few proven topical antibiotics that could help you in the battle against acne:

Clindamycin: This is probably the most common topical antibiotic for acne. Clindamycin is very cheap and can definitely make a noticeable difference in the severity of mild to moderate acne. I wrote a full article on clindamycin so feel free to click the link above if you want to learn more.

Erythromycin: Erythromycin is another viable topical antibiotic. Erythromycin is similar to clindamycin in the fact that they are both cheap and effective. Talk to your dermatologist before taking any treatment if possible. Click on the link above if you would like to learn more.

Tetracycline: Tetracycline is another very popular treatment. It has more side effects than the previous two treatments that I listed, but it works very well.

You should definitely consider using topical antibiotics to treat your acne if the usual acne treatments that are prescribed to patients are not getting the job done for you.
