Q. A 19-year-old female presents to the dermatology clinic with a 2-week history of worsening facial acne. She reports having had a recent skin abscess that was drained and found to be caused by MRSA (Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus). She also mentions that she had previously been prescribed doxycycline for a different condition but had developed a rash, leading her to believe she might be allergic to it.
Examination reveals multiple pustules on her face, particularly on the chin and cheeks. There are also a few erythematous nodules suggestive of inflammatory acne. The patient appears distressed due to the cosmetic implications of the lesions.
What would be the most appropriate antibiotic treatment for her condition?
