Oral antibiotic-KH

John L. Bezzant,M.D.

If a patient has more than 15 red papules and pustules in association with the comedos, then usually an oral antibiotic is required in addition to the previously shown therapy (see Slide 37), and I generally use tetracycline, 500 mg tid, or minocycline, 100 mg bid as the oral antibiotic choice.
