What should I do to get rid of jawline acne? (photos)

The recent Acne outbreak must have been quite annoying.

You have Papulopustular Acne.

Treatment options for your Jawline Acne:

Creams

1. Benzoyl peroxide gel
2. Clindamycin gel,
3. Differin cream or a Retinoic acid
4. Epiduo (combination of Retinoic acid and Benzoyl peroxide)

Oral Medications

1. Antibiotics (Doxycycline/ Erythromycin)
2. If your acne does not improve or even worsens, you might have to consider oral Isotretinoin (commonly known as Roaccutane).

Chemical Peels and Lasers can also help.

Please seek timely treatment for your Acne to avoid Scarring, which is much more challenging and costlier to treat!

Yes, adult acne is like the MOOOOSTTT annoying thing possible.

I have patients who started popping out at age 32/50 and whatever lies in between. And generally the outbreaks are quite numerous.

I generally have a much lower threshold for starting isotretinoin for patients, especially for male patients.

I don't really find doxycycline useful, and I don't like benzoyl peroxide as it tends to dry the surface, but do nothing to the infective lump.

As such, for you I might start isotretinoin, and add on a gentle glycolic peel, as well as an adequate but LIGHT moisturiser.

That should do well.
