Get treated: All acne can be treated effectively by today's methods. If topical benzoyl peroxide as tolerated has not cleared you in two weeks, get with your personal physician for prescription-strength treatment. If you are experiencing depression while you are on isotretinoin, or are thinking of harming yourself, phone your personal physician now.
