Acne can be caused by hair follicles getting infected and clogged up. Antibiotics help treat the infection, which can help clear up the acne; but it may come back as a re infection.

your skin is an organ and is very vascularized so antibiotics can reach it from your stomach to your epiderm and kill the bacteria causing your acne
