They work by killing bacteria on the skin, reducing inflammation, and preventing further infection. Topical antibiotics are generally considered safe and effective, and are often used in combination with other treatments, such as topical retinoids or benzoyl peroxide. They are available over-the-counter or by prescription, depending on the severity of the infection.
