A member asked:

Is there anyway to reduce redness of pimples quickly ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: There are no quick fixes here, but all acne is easily managed nowadays and I am very sorry you haven't been treated already. If topical benzoyl peroxide has failed after 2 weeks, get with your physician; i like to add topical Clindamycin or you may get a retinoic acid derivative; if not clear in 2 weeks, tetracycline 500 mg 2x/day;tough jobs accutane. Good luck.
