A member asked:
For what reason do i have a lot of acne?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Nobody knows: Acne is unrelated to hygiene or lifestyle and only moderately to diet. If you're a female with irregular or absent periods, you probably have excess androgens. Otherwise, there's no telling. All acne is manageable. If topical benzoyl peroxide has not cleared you in two weeks, get with your personal physician for prescription-strength rx.
