Health Topics Questions and Answers About Acne: NIDDK (Excerpt)
Medical researchers are working on new drugs to treat
acne, particularly topical antibiotics to replace some of those in
current use. As with many other types of bacterial infections, doctors
are finding that, over time, the bacteria that are associated with acne
are becoming resistant to treatment with certain antibiotics. Research
is also being conducted by industry on the potential side effects of
isotretinoin and the long-term use of medicines used for treating
acne.
Scientists are working on other means of treating acne.
For example, researchers are studying the biology of sebaceous cells and
testing a laser in laboratory animals to treat acne by disrupting
sebaceous glands. Scientists are also studying the treatment of
androgenic disorders, including acne, in men by inhibiting an enzyme
that changes testosterone to a more potent androgen.
