How should I start treating acne?

Hello. I have been getting constant breakouts on my face lately, so I am considering getting acne treatment. In the past, I would only get one or two occasionally, but recently, they have been repeatedly appearing around my chin and cheeks, so it seems like managing it at home alone has its limits.

I have been paying attention to cleansing and moisturizing, and trying to avoid irritating cosmetics as much as possible, but my condition hasn't improved as much as I expected, so I plan to get a proper consultation at a dermatology clinic this time. However, after looking into it, I found that there are more diverse acne treatment methods than I thought, so I don't know where to start.

I am wondering if I should receive treatments like extraction or scaling first, or if it is common to use oral or topical medications in combination. I am particularly concerned not only about the current breakouts but also about recurring acne, so I would like to receive treatment aimed at reducing recurrence rather than simply calming the condition temporarily.

For those of you who have actually received acne treatment, how was the initial consultation conducted? I am also curious to see how your skin condition changed after consistent care for a few weeks or months. Please share your experiences if you, like me, suffer from recurring breakouts, or if you have found a treatment method you were satisfied with.
