How does oral medication for acne know how to clear up the area?

Kellie asked:

I have a minor acne problem on my chin and the corner of mouth. I recently went to the dermatologist to find out how to get rid of it. She prescribed oral medication that treats acne. My question is how does the oral medicine know where the acne is and how does it clear it up? I guess I’m just really skeptical about this whole thing. Thanks!

My doctor said that a lot of acne medications break you out badly at the beginning and can take 6-8 weeks to see results. Why?

I’m 23 years old and my acne has never been so bad! I watch what I eat, get 7-8 hours of sleep each night, my dermatologist recently put me on Minocyclin… The acne is still there… It even seems worse now. I’ve been on the medicine for a little over two weeks. I feel that it should be cleared. Any remedies I haven’t tried? Help!
I was also put on Retin-A. All it did was make my face peel.
One more question… Does pouring hydrogen peroxide on your acne work?
