I am guessing you haven't had time to read pediatrics yet..so here it is:
- Topical preps like benzoyl peroxide, tretinoin and clindmycin, erythromycin for comedone and papulopustular acne (benzoyl peroxide in morning and tretinoin at night)
- Isotretinoin: for moderate to severe nodulocystic acne, resistant to conventional treatment
- Systemic therapy like tetracyclins: mod to severe acne, which doesn't respond to topicals and for scarring
- steroid injections for faster healing of nodulocystic lesions
- dermabrasion for minimization of scarring after active process is over
