A member asked:

In what way can i get rid of a persistant acne prob.. i even get big red pimples on my face..how do i get rid of them?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Serious Rx: If topical benzoyl peroxide 5% 2x/day hasn't cleared you in two weeks, this is worth taking to your personal physician. I see that you are an adult and I am guessing this is new. If you have other symptoms / signs, your acne may be a warning of underlying illness. Try to stay physically fit as well. Best wishes.
