What else can i do to clear up my acne besides medication?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Why do you ask?: Acne is a serious, chronic, non-lifestyle-related illness that must be managed scientifically if you want results. Significant acne is a serious personal and professional liability because, frankly, it is a sign of poor self-care. Topical benzoyl peroxide, perhaps with a prescription med from your physician, is far more effective than any home remedy. Stay smart and let us clear you.
