A member asked:

What is the best cure for acne ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Many medicines: There is not one perfect medicine for acne. The most popular is benzoyle peroxide gel. BP not only kills most bacteria in acne, it further dries and dehydrates the pimple. The opposite spectrum is accutane. This oral medicine is used to treat severe cases of acne.
