Q. A 7-year-old boy is brought by his mother to the primary care clinic for acne that has been there for the past 3 months. She says that he has used all the over-the-counter acne treatments but of no use. He has no significant medical history.
His vitals are normal. On examination, he has numerous papules, pustules, and a few nodules on the face and upper back.
What is the most appropriate initial treatment plan in this case?
