How do you control acne breakouts for a 40 year old adult?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
As for anyone: Probably your physician will offer you a systemic antibiotic, unless you're a lady who can and wants to take the oral contraceptive ill i was finally able to stop taking tetracycline altogether in my late 40's. These are effective for all but the nastiest cases.
