What to do when you have acne that just wont stop?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
21st century Rx: Today we are curing most cancers and we can handle acne. I start with topical clindamycin, plus benzoyl peroxide if there aren't a lot of blackheads or a retinoic acid derivative if there are. A woman is often cleared by the oral contraceptive pill. If it's harder to manage, i add a systemic antibiotic appropriate for the person. Dermatologists have the big guns. Good luck.
