A member asked:

Does vitamin b3 work to cure acne in face and all over the body?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: Don't expect this to help except as part of a comprehensive program. Acne on the trunk almost always requires systemic treatment; your physician may start you on something like tetracycline 500 2x/day.
