A member asked:

How to get rid of all acne, pimples, and zits in 4 days?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Can't be done: Please forgive my frankness. Even in a society that demands "quick fixes" of all kinds, this isn't going to happen. Acne is a serious, chronic disease unrelated to hygiene or lifestyle and if you've been neglecting it or haven't been allowed to care for it, now is the time to take charge. Start using topical benzoyl peroxide as tolerated and phone your personal physician now.
