Hii i am 19 yrs old and i am getting pimples on my face since 14 they were gone 1yr ago and now back again. how to make them go away forever?

Isotretinoin: Isotretinoin, or Accutane as it is popularly known as, can help pimples go away for ever. There are possible side effects to the medication so you should consult your dermatologist before starting.

First line treatment: is benzoyl peroxide topical,which is over-the-counter, then antibiotics topically, and other prescription topicals,such as Retin-A.Oral antibiotics may also be prescribed.None of these will guarantee getting rid of acne forever, since it is mainly caused by the hormones in your body.Accutane is a stronger medication that may get rid of your acne, but is by prescription only with many restrictions.
