Diagnosis-first
Acne is not one problem
Jawline breakouts, clogged pores, inflammatory pimples, hormonal flares, body acne, and dark marks after acne are not the same problem. If the treatment does not match the pattern, patients often end up rotating through products without a real plan.
CutisRx starts by sorting the acne pattern first. Your visit is built around what your acne looks like, where it appears, what you have already tried, and whether topical, oral, or combination treatment may be appropriate.

Treatment framing
Treatment depends on the acne pattern
Some patients need a topical-first approach. Others may need a broader plan that considers inflammation, hormonal pattern, body involvement, sensitivity, prior treatment failure, or risk of scarring.
CutisRx does not promise a specific prescription before review. The goal is to match the treatment pathway to the clinical picture, not push every patient into the same product.
Combination acne care
Topical care combined with an oral option when clinically appropriate.
Oral options when appropriate
For selected patterns where topical alone may not be enough.
Hormonal-pattern acne considerations
Adult-onset or cyclical patterns reviewed with hormonal context.
Dark marks after acne
Post-breakout pigment reviewed alongside the active-acne plan.

Frequently asked questions
What patients most often ask before starting an online acne visit.
Can I get prescription acne treatment online?
If online care is appropriate for your situation, the clinical team may prescribe treatment after reviewing your intake and photos. Prescription treatment is not guaranteed.
Do I need photos?
Yes. Photos help the clinical team evaluate acne pattern, severity, and whether online care is appropriate.
What kinds of acne can CutisRx evaluate?
CutisRx can help evaluate common acne patterns including inflammatory breakouts, clogged pores, hormonal-pattern acne, body acne, and acne with dark marks. Some cases still need in-person care.
How fast will acne improve?
Acne improvement is not instant. Treatment response varies, and acne plans usually need consistency and follow-up.
Is this only topical treatment?
Not necessarily. Some patients may be considered for topical treatment, oral treatment, hormonal options, or combination approaches depending on the clinical review.
