A member asked:

Can you tell me how could i get rid of all of my acne, blackheads, etc.?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Serious Rx: If there are a lot of blackheads, you'll do best to start with a topical retinoic acid preparation plus whatever prescription strength rx your physician thinks is appropriate. Forget 'pop' / 'home' remedies and be ready to manage this chronic illness long-term with medication until it self-cures as you age.
