A member asked:
Hello , i have hormonal acne and im 17 , went on medication for a month and it didnt work , any vitamins or creams you recommend ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
I would recommend: that you follow up with a dermatologist if the medication you were on didn't help. It is unlikely that an over-the-counter topical medication would work if that oral medication did not.
