A member asked:
I have some acne should i just ran because that makes it go away or use acne meds prescribed by a doctor?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Acne=infection.: Acne is truly an infection within the pores of the skin, so any effective treatment for acne should initially include both a drying agent (i.e. benzoyl peroxide) and an antibiotic (which could be topical or oral).
