Acne is not a condition you have to live with; there are treatments available to improve the appearance of your skin.

Duke dermatologists are experts in managing acne of all types in all ages of patients.

Treatment

We understand the impact that acne can have on a person's self-image, and we tailor our care approach to suit the specific needs of each patient.

Mild to moderate acne may be treated with topical treatments such as cleansers, topical antibiotics, or topical retinoids (vitamin A).

For more severe acne, oral antibiotics (such as tetracycline or erythromycin) may be added to the regimen.

For the most severe cases, in which cysts and scarring are present, oral isotretinoin may be prescribed.
