A member asked:

I'm curious as to what can i do to help get rid of acne and an oily face?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Start easy: Topical benzoyl peroxide 5% 2x/day is your best friend. If you're not clear in two weeks, your personal physician can add something that's right for you. Don't get discouraged, you can manage it until it eventually self-cures.
