Scientific Rx: If you have not already begun using topical benzoyl peroxide twice a day, do so now, and if you're getting scarring as well, get with your personal physician as you'll need additional prescription-strength medication. Forget "home / pop" remedies and remember that acne is not lifestyle-related and is not curable, though it remits with time.

A few options: For over the counter methods try using products that have benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, alcohol, and acetone. For prescription treatments you may be prescribed antibiotics, retinoids or vitamin a derivatives, azelaic acid, oral contraceptives, or spironolactone. Always ask a dermatologist about the possible affects and the risks vs benefits of each treatment. Make sure it's best for you.
