Not sure if prescription acne treatment is right for you? Learn signs that it might be, and how the Nurx medical team can help.

With so many acne-fighting serums, masks, and supplements in your Insta feed and on drugstore shelves, you may think you can get rid of breakouts on your own. While some of those products may help, many people with acne need real prescription treatment to get the clear skin they deserve.

Non-prescription acne treatments are all based on the same ingredients packaged in different ways, often at unnecessarily high prices. Getting real prescription medicine — whether topical, oral, or both — may be less expensive (especially if insurance covers it), and will be more reliably effective.

Even if you only experience mild acne, if it leaves lasting marks on your skin you should consult a medical provider about prescription treatments to prevent future scarring.

If acne covers large stretches of skin, like your chest or back, then creams and other topical treatments aren’t the most efficient way to treat it. Oral medications like antibiotics, spironolactone, or certain combination birth control pills, take an inside-out approach to treat all of your skin at once.

There shouldn’t be anything embarrassing about acne — it’s a medical condition like any other, and not your fault. That said, for many people it can impact mental health. In a recent survey, 61% of Nurx patients said that they’ve had an important life event negatively impacted by acne, and one third have actually skipped a social event due to a breakout.

Then the Nurx medical team is here for you, ready to prescribe a treatment plan for mild or moderate acne, and send it to your door.
