I tried everything but i don't know what to do for acne. can a soap or a lotion help me with this?

Tried everthing?: Soaps and lotions won't help, but if this is actually acne, scientific rx will make it vanish. If topical benzoyl peroxide hasn't cleared you in two weeks, your physician will add prescription-strength rx until something does. Remember it's manageable but not curable.
