A member asked:

Could laser treatment work for acne?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Scars: Lasers are best for certain types of deep scar after acne has healed. If your disease is active, it's better managed using medication. If topical benzoyl peroxide as tolerated has not cleared you in two weeks, get with your personal physician.
