A member asked:

How can i cure a pimple and acne really fast bec. i got them from stress and they appear especially right before really imp. occasions like my wedding?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Treat not cure: Wr still don't completely understand the causes of acne but a fairly clear picture of the outcome. Treatments are targeted to reduce sebaceous (oil gland) activity and associated or secondary bacterial growth.
