A member asked:
Does any doctor here know of a good acne medication?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Scientific Rx: There are dozens that work but none are pleasant. You're best to start with topical benzoyl peroxide and/or a retinoic acid derivative and/or a salicylic acid wash as tolerated and if you're not clear in two weeks, get with your personal physician. If you're a candidate for isotretinoin, go for it -- though it's not for the faint-hearted. Best wishes.
