jazzaa36 0 Share Posted February 6, 2018 Hello, so basically a couple of months ago I developed closed comedones on my forehead. I have tried every topical,exfloiater, natural remedies under the sun but none seemed to work, so I went to a dermatologist and he was quick to prescribe me a low dose of accutane as he said antibiotics are mostly only effective for inflammatory acne? I have yet to start the taking the pill but I just wanted to know if anyone has used antibotics for comedonal acne with success as I am very hesitant on jumping on accutane. Thank you in advance Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MaleMuriel 3 Share Posted February 7, 2018 Antibiotics do nothing to closed pores except preventing them from becoming inflamed. Accutane will take care of the clogged pores. However you should think twice before taking this pill. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
