A member asked:

I have a pimple problem. i normally get pimples every week. can anyone tell me the causes and preventions?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Acne, correct?: All acne can be managed. If benzoyl peroxide has failed, get with your physician. When they're intermittent, a low daily dose of systemic tetracycline may be enough to keep things clear.
