Key points
- Acne treatment ranges from topical creams to oral capsules, with the choice matched to how severe the acne is and the risk of scarring.
- Topical corticosteroids are grouped by potency, from milder creams to stronger options for more resistant inflammation.
- Antifungal and antiparasitic creams target specific organisms, such as fungal nail infections or scabies, rather than general skin irritation.
- Diagnosis and application route matter more than product type, since a medicine suited to one skin condition rarely suits another.
Acne creams, gels and capsules
Acne medicines in this range include Tretinoin products such as Retin A 0,05 and Tretinoin 0.025% Cream, alongside Differin, Benzac Ac Gel and the oral capsule Accutane, used for Acne Vulgaris of varying severity. Some hormonal tablets, including Diane 35, pair Ethinylestradiol with an antiandrogen for acne linked to hormone levels.
Corticosteroids, antifungals and other skin medicines
Elocon and Betnovate are used for skin conditions such as atopic dermatitis, eczema and psoriasis, while Temovate, which contains Clobetasol Propionate, is used for inflammatory dermatoses and plaque psoriasis. Antifungal treatments such as Micogel and Luzu target fungal skin infections, Nailrox targets nail infections, and Acticin is used for scabies. A smaller group of pigment and keratosis medicines sits alongside these within the wider skin care range.
