A member asked:

I am tired of all this acne on my face! and this dryness from using pimple medicine, what to do?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Stronger Rx: If benzoyl peroxide or whatever over-the-counter medication that you're using hasn't cleared you in two weeks, get with your personal physician who can add something, perhaps an antibiotic or topical spironolactone. For the tough cases, a dermatology referral for Isotretinoin is in order. All acne can be managed nowadays by evidence-based medicine; it's not expensive but is not altogether pleasant.
