As mentioned earlier, my own acne flares up from time to time — even now. Unfortunately, there is no one cure for acne. Instead, it is about finding a way to manage and control it. That said, there are ways in which we can treat and manage acne to leave you feeling more confident and in control of your skin. This ranges from oral medications such as Accutane (which belongs to the retinoid group), spironolactone (a diuretic drug that helps treat hormonal acne in women), and topical prescription treatments as well as in-clinic treatments like BroadBand Light (BBL), not to mention chemical peels and at-home skin care. There is no one-size-fits-all approach, though, so clinical assessment in a dermatology clinic is recommended for a truly personalized treatment plan.
