A member asked:

How to treat acne fast !?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No quick fix: Start using topical benzoyl peroxide as tolerated and make an appointment with your physician to ask about prescription rx. Even in this era of fast solutions and big expectations, expect two weeks or longer for a good result with any acne rx, just as you know it still takes nine months to get a baby. Best wishes.
