A member asked:

How can i stop my pimples from becoming whiteheads during the day?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Manage your acne: It's a chronic, non-lifestyle-related, non-hygiene-related disease that you owe it to yourself to manage aggressively. If topical benzoyl peroxide as tolerated hasn't cleared you in two weeks, you're going to need prescription-strength medication from your personal physician.
