I have 1 question .. can acne be cured? i used accutane 9 months ago it cleared my big pimples but not whiteheads is this ever going to b cured 1 day

Can outgrow it: Acne isn't 'cured' but can be controlled with medication. Ask your Dermatologist for help with this. Acne can last into your 20's or 30's (occasionally into your 40's) so once you find something that works, don't stop the med once your skin improves (otherwise the pimples come back).
