This study delves into the [dermatology and medicine] world, investigating a potential new approach to treating moderate to severe acne, a common skin condition that can significantly impact self-esteem and quality of life. The researchers compared the effectiveness of two different treatment regimens: azithromycin alone and a combination of azithromycin and levamisole. The study found that the combination of azithromycin and levamisole was significantly more effective at reducing acne lesions than azithromycin alone, suggesting that this combination could be a promising new treatment option.
