A member asked:
My chest and face break out due to oil, hormonal imbalance, and high stress. what acne product do you recommend?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Prescription Rx: It's not stress. If you're a man, it's not a hormonal imbalance. If you're a woman, consider going on the oral contraceptive pill. Acne on the trunk will require a combination of topical (benzoyl peroxide and/or retinoic acid) and prescription systemic Rx. It's not your lifestyle; the cause is obscure. Do what you need to. Best wishes.
