Can honey help get rid of acne?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Go for real Rx: Use "pop" claims like sleeping with your face smeared with honey only as an adjunct. If topical benzoyl peroxide has not cleared you in two weeks, get with your personal physician. If you are a parent trying to manage your teenager's acne by "pop" remedies rather than getting him/her evidence-based prescription-strength medicine for this serious illness, you're making a bad mistake.
