i think the poll is more or less to see how people get along with certain antibiotics that have acne. the poll is old, but there are more newer votes on it so it is continuing. this isn't to say that antibiotics are the answer to acne. doctors use antibiotics usually when acne is infected. the doctors don't use them indiscriminately. when all else has failed an individual in helping to keep bad acne at bay, that is when the antibiotics are prescribed. this is just a poll, it is not promoting antibiotic use.
