ACNE IS TREATABLE: Regardless of the type of skin. Please see your doctor or dermatologist for further treatment options.

Rx meds are best: Over-the-counter products work poorly. I start with topical Clindamycin with or without a retinoic acid derivative. If this fails, oral antibiotics such as tetracycline or erythromycin, depending on what you can take, are helpful. Dermatologists have Accutane and lasers. All acne is manageable nowadays if you want and can get care in our dysfunctional system. I wish you the best of luck.
