I have never had acne, and now i'm breaking out?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Manage it: Even if you're sure it's acne, it's seldom helpful to look for the cause. Topical benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid wash as tolerated may be enough to control if. If not, get with your physician to look for a cause and find out what prescription-strength treatment may be best.
