Can you tell me how to decrease acne in my face?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See a dermatologist: You should see a dermatologist for proper evaluation and treatment. Acne can be treated with topical cleansers containing benzoyl peroxide, antibiotics, retinoid creams, chemical peels, laser and light therapy, and accutane.
