What can i use for acne ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Scientific Rx: Start off with topical benzoyl peroxide as you can tolerate, 1-2x/day, 2.5 to 10% as your skin can take. The alternative is retinoic acid. If you are not clear in two weeks, try adding topical clindamycin if you can get it, or your physician will need to add prescription strength Rx. Acne is basically unrelated to diet, sex, or hygiene and it will remit unpredictably; until then, manage it.
