A member asked:

Please help me i have been having acne for about 5 years that clears sometimes and again comes back.. what should i do?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Serious Rx: Daily application of topical benzoyl peroxide usually keeps occasional acne at bay. If it doesn't, or if your trunk is involved, see your personal physician for prescription-strength rx.
