A member asked:
I'm curious as to what can a gp prescribe for red acne marks?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Scientific Rx: Post-acne redness isn't treatable. Let it fade on its own. The key is to keep new lesions from forming until the illness eventually remits. If topical benzoyl peroxide as tolerated has not cleared you in two weeks, get with your personal physician.
