Scientific Rx: You're going to need to apply topical benzoyl peroxide and/or retinoic acid to all areas AND get at least a short course of a prescription Rx, perhaps an antibiotic, or if you're a female, spironolactone or the oral contraceptive pill. No home remedy will work. Manage this with your physician until your illness remits on its own -- it's hard work and not fun, but something you do need to do.
