For severe acne cases dermatologists may use oral antibiotics such as clindamycin or erythromycin. There are also several topical antibiotics that can be used such as Benzaclin which combines benzoyl peroxide, a known acne fighter, with topical clindamycin. You can also use medications such as Sotret or Accutane, but these have high risks for patients who have any known issues with depression.

Some of the procedures for severe acne cases include: drainage and surgical excision, interlesional corticosteroid injection, isotretinoin, oral antibiotics , and oral contraceptives. Several of these remedies can require years of treatment.
