Is there a surgical procedure that can remove acne?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not really.: If you have active acne, surgery is not the way to go. We use various antibiotics, vitamin a-based medicines, and topical medicines to treat acne. There are surgical procedures to treat scarring after the acne subsides, however.
