A member asked:
How do you know if you had an allergic reaction to acne medication?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Allergic reaction: One would assume this is a topical preparation. The way to know is to use it, if the reaction happens....Stop it. If the reaction goes away, then you reintroduce. If it returns, then you are likely reacting to it.
