Dermatologists write more antibiotic prescriptions per individual clinician than other physicians, mostly to treat acne and rosacea. Dr. Vincent DeLeo talks to Dr. James Del Rosso about antibiotic use in dermatology. “Antibiotics are part of our armamentarium; they’re very important. … Primarily we’re using [antibiotics] for these inflammatory dermatoses that are not infections, and we’re prescribing them for a longer period of time,” Dr. Del Rosso explains. Dr. Del Rosso outlines acne therapies commonly associated with resistance and discusses when to use antibiotics for acne.
