Hello,
With the question: "Can acne on the cheeks in teenagers be cured?" The doctor's answer is as follows:
Acne is a common skin disease in teenagers and young adults caused by increased sebum secretion and inflammation of the sebaceous hair follicles. For mild cases of acne, doctors will prescribe topical medications containing Tretinoin, Adapalene or antibiotics Clindamycin, erythromycin,... In severe cases, antibiotics or isotretinoin can be taken depending on age and contraindications. .
