Question 2

Accepted Answer

Many options.: Begin with benzoyl peroxide. It's effective and well tolerated for most people. Start with a low strength and increase if needed. With stubborn acne, add a second product with a different active ingredient, such as salicylic acid, alpha-hydroxy acid, or sulfur. But do see a dermatologist; in the long run it's way cheaper than trying all those "miracle" non-prescription concoctions.

Question 9

how to defeat acne?

Accepted Answer

It's not simple: There is no simple answer to this question. It depends on the type of acne, their extent (face, shoulders, neck, chest, etc.), what you've already tried. I would suggest seeing a doc in your area that will do exam and monitor your treatment response. A # of topical treatments and oral ones are available and can be used with good response, but let your doc decide which one is good for you.

Question 10

how to vanish acne?

Accepted Answer

Some options...: For treatment of acne, over-the-counter benzoyl peroxide gel or cream is quite helpful. If desired, a doctor can add an antibiotic gel or cream such as Cleocin (clindamycin) gel. If more help is needed, prescription retinoids such as Retin-A or Differin gel can be used instead of benzoyl peroxide. Oral antibiotics like tetracycline can be used. If quite severe, a dermatologist may use Accutane.
