When most people think about acne, they typically considered it to be a condition that affects teenagers. Although acne is common in teenagers, it does affect the adult population. Acne treatment for adults include antibiotics, prescription medications that reduce symptoms and maintaining facial cleanliness. Taking an antibiotic as an acne treatment may be especially important since acne can be caused, or exacerbated by bacteria. In addition, a popular over-the-counter acne treatment works well to dry up pimples while helping to reduce facial bacteria.
