A member asked:

Doctor i am suffering acne since 4-5 years and i hav tried all the possible medicines available.yet my acne is nt getting cured and it just goes on in?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Which Rx's failed?: Today all acne can be managed though it is not always easy or pleasant or entirely risk-free. I take it that benzyol peroxide failed; the next step for a woman who can use it is the oral contraceptive ill, or topical Clindamycin and/or a retinoic acid derivative; then a systemic antibiotic perhaps a macrolide. Accutane, the big guns, is for severe cases & should clear x months. Good luck.
