Acne: Results in puberty/young age due to hormonal imbalance. Excess of testosterone in male and female patients. Vit. H may be of benefit for some patients. There is no best treatment. Ranges from antibiotics, over the counter med. (Avita, DApsona) In severe cases see a dermatologist

Find other physician: "Vitamin H" (biotin) is an inappropriate choice for acne treatment. Acne is not caused by stress, and your hormonal milieu might be managed by going on the oral contraceptive pill, getting more exercise, and/or some other intervention. Bad acne requires topical benzoyl peroxide and/or retinoic acid plus prescription-strength meds (antibiotic, spironolactone and/or isotretinoin). Get seen soon.
