A member asked:

If i use hydrogen peroxide on my face to help get rid of zits will it help?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: Topical benzoyl peroxide, which you can get over the counter, is your first try. If insufficient, a woman who can take the oral contraceptive pill may find this clears her. Otherwise, your physician might add topical Clindamycin and if you are not clear in four weeks, a systemic antibiotic that's right for you. All acne can be managed nowadays. Good luck and stay proactive.
