| Summary: | Acne is a common skin disease that predominantly affects teenagers and young adults. Systemic antibiotic therapy, including tetracyclines, macrolides, and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, is indicated in moderate-to-severe inflammatory disease. However, in certain cases, these antibiotics and other commonly prescribed treatments including oral contraceptives, spironolactone, and isotretinoin may be prohibited, especially in cases of pregnancy and drug intolerance. In this retrospective study, we assessed the safety and efficacy of systemic amoxicillin, which has a favorable tolerability profile and compatibility with pregnancy in the treatment of inflammatory acne.
