A member asked:
What do you recommend if i am a 17 years old and a male and i've been struggling with acne since i was 13.?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Take the initiative: I'm sorry your acne wasn't treated properly as it should have been. You're now old enough to pick up the telephone and schedule your own appointment with your family physician. I trust you're using topical benzoyl peroxide, and you'll need your physician's prescription-strength medication. Most acne is cheap to treat ; even if you need the expensive stuff, it's worth it.
