Why do you need an antibiotic treatment for Acne? We need a better knowledge of acne and then this will make more sense.
For the sake of this article let's look at three types of acne, blackheads, whiteheads (little pimple that forms a white bump) and what we will call a zit, the kind that is bigger, red and obviously inflamed and infected. An antibiotic would not benefit the first two types of pimples because bacteria are not present but the antibiotic would help the zit. The makeup of the zit is an excess of sebum (natural oil secreted by the body) and in that environment bacteria can flourish. When the bacteria colonize the infection stimulates the body's immune system, which causes more and more pus (dead white blood cells) to accumulate resulting in the larger white head frequently called a zit.

Remember that the worst thing you can do is squeeze this zit. Squeezing the zit can cause scarring of the skin, squeezing can push some of the infection deeper into the skin and even to another part of the under layers of skin and last but not least but the pus getting spread on the surface of the skin can spread the acne.
To stay away from this bad situation a good solution is to use Clindamycin as an acne antibiotic treatment. Keep in mind that it is not necessary to buy the brand name Cleocin T and spend more money. The generic Clindamycin will be fine, you can find it online and you will save money.
