Medi-Cal covers certain types of acne treatment
Medi-Cal is a government sponsored health care program in the United States for people who are not covered by private insurance.

Medi-Cal covers certain types of acne treatment, including medications prescribed by a doctor, over-the-counter treatments, and natural treatments. Medi-Cal does not cover laser or surgery for treating acne.
Medi-Cal covers medications used to treat acne, including benzoyl peroxide, topical medication, and oral medication. Oral treatments include isotretinoin (Accutane) and adapalene (Bimatoprost). Benzoyl peroxide is the most common type of acne treatment covered by Medi-Cal. Topical medications include benzoyl peroxide, azelaic acid, retinoids, and coal tar products. Acne vulgaris is a chronic inflammatory skin disease that can be treated with a combination of medication and topical therapy.
Benzoyl peroxide is the most commonly prescribed medication for treating acne. It is available as a pill or liquid form and can be used in combination with other topical treatments or oral medications. Benzoyl peroxide is effective in killing the bacteria that cause acne and has been shown to improve symptoms such as oily skin, redness, and blemishes. Side effects may include dryness, burning sensation, and irritation.
Topical treatments for acne typically use one or more types of benzoyl peroxide derivatives. These include salicylic acid esters (such as Retin-A), azelaic acid esters (such as Azelaic Acid), imidazoles (such as Differin), acyl glycosides (such as Cyproheptadine/Perfume), dibenzoylsulfones (such as Doxycycline/
