A member asked:

My acne is getting worse, and i have a lot of scarring?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See dermatologist.: If you are getting scarring, you need to see a dermatologist. People think they will save money by self-treating; but all they do is delay proper care and risk permanent scarring. Save yourself a ton of money, time, and worry; see a dermatologist and get a regimen designed for you that will actually work.
