For long-standing acne, a long-term treatment plan is usually required. This may include benzoyl peroxide, topical retinoids, and sometimes oral antibiotics such as Doxycycline. If these treatments do not work, a dermatologist may suggest oral retinoids, such as Isotretinoin, which is very effective for severe, persistent acne. After improvement, maintenance treatment and daily sunscreen are important to prevent acne from returning and to reduce marks and scars.
