Prescription meds: An oral medication called isotretinoin is the only medication that causes long-term remission of acne. A diet low in sugar and dairy products can help, as can daily application of benzoyl peroxide to prevent outbreaks. Not squeezing your pimples can help reduce scarring. For "permanent" solutions, you need to see a dermatologist (physician specializing in skin diseases) for prescription medication
