How to cure acne an lighten the skin tone ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Can't do either: Please forgive my frankness. Acne is a serious, chronic disease that you cannot cure until it cures itself as you get older. However, you can manage it. If topical benzoyl peroxide as tolerated has not cleared you in 2 weeks get with your physician. This is 2014 and beyond using sunscreen, you should not try to change your natural skin color. You'll disfigure yourself. Embrace who you are.
