What is the usual antibiotic and dosage used in treating acne? I have a little bit of acne on my chin (no where else) that won’t seem to clear up no matter what I do. I need to try an antibiotic and see if that takes care of an ongoing infection. What is the typical antibiotic used to treat acne? And what dosage for adults?

Benzoyl Peroxide is the most common medicine used to treat acne. It comes in cream form – usually either as 2.5% or 10%. B.P. works by killing the bacteria that forms in zits and it is VERY effective if used regularly. If you’re having problems with acne, get something at the store that has benzoyl peroxide as an active ingredient (you will find dozens of choices available at any drugstore) and use it religiously on your skin EVERY night. If you do that I guarantee you will get good results.
Why not try and clear the acne with natural remedies, there are probably ingredients in your kitchen cupboard which you can try before going down the anibiotic route.
There is a free website below which has loads on information on the cause of acne and ways of treating it.
Take a look and see what you think.
