Key points

  • Skin medicines here span acne, pigmentation, eczema, psoriasis and other diagnoses, each keeping its own route and potency rather than forming one class.
  • Acne treatment spans topical and oral medicines, with intensity matched to severity and scarring risk.
  • Topical corticosteroids are used for inflammatory skin conditions and are grouped by potency.
  • Three isotretinoin capsules (Accutane, Accufine and Isotroin) and three single-ingredient tretinoin creams are listed here for acne, alongside separate medicines for pigmentation, eczema and rosacea.
