Treatment for acne pimples on the face, known as acne, includes topical medication, systemic medication or physical therapy.

2. Systemic medication: oral antibiotics such as minocycline is the treatment of choice for moderate to severe cases and when topical medication fails.
3. Physical therapy: Red light, blue light mixed light irradiation therapy can be used to treat acne, and play an anti-inflammatory, antibacterial effect; laser also has a certain degree of efficacy.
