A member asked:
Doc, what are the best way to cure acne/ pimples? is there a medicine to take?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: You can get acne at any age. I was able to stop using meds when I was 50. Topical benzoyl peroxide is your best friend, or topical retinoic acid. This will usually keep an older guy clear. If you're not better in a few weeks, your physician can add something that will work. Best wishes.
