A member asked:

Can you give me suggestions for my acne treatment, i'm a teenaged male?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Scientific Rx: If topical benzoyl peroxide, in a strength and frequency you can tolerate, hasn't cleared you in two weeks, get with your personal physician who can add a prescription-strength rx for you. If the softer stuff fails, and you're offered isotretinoin, try it if you're brave enough. Best wishes.
