Yes! Acne can and should be addressed as early as possible. It is important to note, however, that most forms of acne are controlled until hormones stabilise and acne naturally ceases.

Patients with poor control or severe forms of acne, however, do have more permanent solutions that include oral medication that permanently deactivate sebaceous glands. Such options do tend to have more side effects and as a result are typically reserved for those who do not respond to intial therapy.

In general, patients will need a good daily topical routine, some procedures to reduce sebcaeous galnd activity, with or without oral medication.
