A member asked:
Even after an acne course of one month consisting of benzoyl peroxide and some other medicines,acne isn't completely gone,what to do now?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
What other meds?: It's only been a month, and often when started on appropriate therapy the acne will get worse before it gets better. However, if you feel the "some other meds" are not working, then you need to return to the doctor/dermatologist.There may be stronger forms of those meds - rarely do docs start you on the strongest ones right away. There may also be different options - I don't know what they've used
