How to treat inflamation of skin due to acne?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Scientific Rx: Benzoyl peroxide as tolerated is your best friend, and since you have acne that's caused scars, you'll need your physician to add a supplemental prescription-strength rx. The oral contraceptive pill, if right for you, may clear you, or an antibiotic or retinoic acid derivative or topical spironolactone may work.
