A member asked:

Which the fastest safest way to remove acne pimples and blackheads?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Professional help: It is best to remove these lesions as part of a skin care program approved by your dermatologist. It is important to treat the cause of the acne with topical and sometimes oral agents to control the outbreak. Removing lesions without therapy does not control the breaking out so it continues to recur.
