A member asked:

What are some ways to treat my acne without using proactive?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Skin doctors: Both dermatologists and plastic surgeons treat acne problems. Sometimes a change of soaps or using a loofa sponge can clear up the problem. Sometimes you need oral antibiotics. Give those methods a try.
