Acne needs treatment: If this is acne and topical benzoyl peroxide or retinoic acid doesn't clear him sufficiently, it's time for prescription meds. Don't try to figure out the cause, and ignore all "pop" advice.

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).
