Dermatological treatments

Dermatologist treatments are a range of medical treatments for different types of skin conditions. Dermatologists might use different treatments to help with problems from acne to warts.

The dermatologist will evaluate the skin condition and provide the best treatment accordingly. The treatment may include medical, surgical, or cosmetic procedures.

Different treatments for skin conditions such as acne and rosacea include the following:

- OTC topical treatments such as benzoyl peroxide, retinoids, and salicylic acid.

- Prescription topical treatments such as tretinoin, adapalene, or tazarotene.

- Oral antibiotics used for moderate to severe acne.

- Antibiotics combined with other medications for moderate to severe acne.

- Antibiotics combined with retinoids for moderate to severe acne.

- Oral isotretinoin (a vitamin A derivative) for severe cases of acne that have not responded to other treatments or that may be related to an underlying hormonal problem.

- Light therapy using red light alone or together with antibiotic treatment in patients
