A member asked:
Is there anything short of steroids that will eliminate my acne, including cystic acne on my face and chest?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Antibiotics, B.P.: Antibiotics and benzoyl peroxide have yielded consistently excellent results for more than 50 years. A dermatologist will give you prescriptions for the combination that works best for you. By the way, steroids are NOT an appropriate treatment for acne in the great majority of cases.
