What otc medication is out there for bad acne?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Don't waste money: There are a lot of otc acne treatments, and some even work (sometimes) on mild to moderate acne. But for severe acne, otc remedies are a waste of money. See a dermatologist and get proper treatment; in the long run it will be much cheaper and you will be much happier.
