A member asked:
Where is propion bacterium acne most likely to be found?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Everywhere: You can't get away from the bacterium that causes acne. This is a chronic disease that you must manage, perhaps with your physician's help, until it remits on its own. Topical benzoyl peroxide is the mainstay of treatment, partly as it kills this microbe.
