A member asked:
I am african american, i am not on health insurance to see a dermatologist. what are good home remedies to clear up acne and dark spots?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
General physician: Any licensed physician can mange all but the most severe cases of acne. If topical benzoyl peroxide has not cleared you in two weeks, adding topical Clindamycin or a short course of a systemic antibiotic may be sufficient.
