Acne is most often: Due to male hormones. Inhibiting those hormones has unacceptable side effects; so treatment involves gently washing face to remove excess oils, using acne meds like benzoyl peroxide, retin-a, topical antibiotics, oral antibiotics. Severe cases (cystic acne) may require potent Accutane treatment. Daily skin care helps. See doc if rx antibiotics needed.
