A member asked:
How can i help my mom with her acne?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Why do you ask?: Acne needs to be managed. If topical benzoyl peroxide hasn't cleared mom in two weeks, she needs to get with her personal physician. There are no magic foods or supplements that will help, and in fact if mom has an acne flare as an adult, she may be seriously sick and need attention.
