A member asked:

My daughter is 17 and she has acne. how to get rid of pimples and acne scars?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Acne: A good place to start to get acne under control is a visit with a board certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon. There are a few good product lines such as Proactiv that are safe and easy to follow. A physician may recommend topical antibiotics or other prescriptions. Better to get control over acne before it leaves more scars.
