A member asked:

How do i find what's the best way to stop suffering from adult acne?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Treat it: You can't cure it but it eventually remits on its own. If topical benzoyl peroxide has not cleared you in two weeks, get with your personal physician who can add prescription rx.
