Oral acne treatments

If you are suffering from severe acne and topical acne products are not sufficient to reduce the breakout, there are certain oral antibiotics that are safe to take during pregnancy. Oral antibiotics such as Penicillin, Cephalexin, Erythromycin, and Clindamycin, are generally considered to be safe while pregnant. However, it is imperative to consult with your obstetrician to see which antibiotics they will approve to take while you are pregnant. Tetracyclines, Streptomycin, and Kanamycin are not recommend to take while you are pregnant, as these antibiotic can cause birth defects.

It is best to use oral antibiotic treatments for a short duration while pregnant. Penicillin is one of the safest antibiotics to take, as long as there is no history of allergy. Common side effects with any oral antibiotic are skin rashes, diarrhea, and fever. If any of these unwanted side effects occur, it is important to discontinue the oral antibiotic and contact your treating physician. It is also important to complete the antibiotic medication for the entire prescribed length of time, even if the acne disappears so that the bacteria do not build up a resistance to the medication.

Procedure-based acne treatments

Acne surgery – Certain acne breakouts and cysts need a more traditional approach to removal. For these deeper types of acne breakouts, traditional acne surgery is needed. Acne surgery consists of mechanically removing clogged pores using a comedone. This process is generally followed up with injections of intralesional cortisone. The cortisone will decrease the inflammation and help these cysts heal up more quickly, while preventing acne scars from forming.
