Hi Jason.
Because Creatine is a supplement not a medicine, it has not been evaluated by the FDA for side effects, effectiveness and purity.
Acne is common in teenagers, who may have high levels of androgens. Androgens stimulate the sebaceous glands in the skin. Bacteria on the skin feeds off this oil, blocking the pores and resulting in spots. Taking a tetracycline antibiotic and using a topical gel is an excellent way to treat acne.
You should avoid any medicines which contain steroids or testosterone, since these will make acne worse.
