A member asked:
Can there be a surgery that can cure acne?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Very few non-infectious diseases are curable at all, and surgery cures even fewer. Acne is a chronic illness that eventually self-cures. In the meantime, you can keep it under control. Here your physician is your best guide. It is not related to lifestyle or hygiene and you'll do best to ignore all "popular wisdom.".
