- 1). Visit a dermatologist. In order to get the best treatment for your acne, a dermatologist must examine your skin and determine what medications and treatments will work best for you.
- 2). Try Accutane. This is a powerful oral acne medication that works from within to rid your body of acne nodules. It must be prescribed by a dermatologist as it has serious side effects.
- 3). Get a glycolic acid or alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) peel. This is a chemical peel that must be done at a dermatologist's office. It causes acne-ridden skin to blister and peel off, revealing healthy skin.
- 4). Try a cortisone injection. This is an on-the-spot injection administered by a dermatologist that goes directly into the nodule to destroy bacteria and quickly heal the lesion. This is the ideal treatment if you only have one or two acne nodules.
- 5). Have the nodules drained by a dermatologist. This treatment is a type of minor surgical procedure in which the nodule is cut open and the pus and bacteria are drained. The lesion then heals within a few days.
