Please see a doctor.: Please see a dermatologist, you may need stronger treatment like retinoic acid.

See a physician: Topical benzoyl peroxide, your best over-the-counter treatment, will clear acne only if it's confined to the face and even then only in 50% of patients. "pop" remedies (honey, lemon, pepper) are cruel hoaxes. Phone your personal physician now and make an appointment. Acne is chronic, serious disease and must be managed until it eventually self-cures. Best wishes.

First control acne: Acne is a complex disease treated with a variety of approaches ranging from topical anti-inflammatories, antibiotics, as well as hormonal, medical regimens and surgery. Each case is individually treated and it is difficult to recommend a single cure. See a dermatologist first.
