I'm curious if any of you had any tips to slow down or stop acne?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Tips?: All acne is easily manageable with scientific rx. Home remedies fail. Exhortations to "keeping clean", "eating right" and so forth are cruel fantasy. If topical benzoyl peroxide has failed after a few weeks, get with your personal physician for topical or systemic rx, and don't hesitate to accept serious treatment for the serious problem that acne is.
