Can you please explain how i can control my acne?

Scientific Rx: If two weeks on over-the-counter benzoyl peroxide doesn't clear you, get with your physician. You may be a rx for a topical retinoic acid derivative, the oral contraceptive pill (if you're female), topical clindamycin, a systemic antibiotic such as tetracycline, or a dermatology referral for possible isotretinoin. All acne is manageable today; it's not a hygiene or lifestyle problem. We can help.

Acne treatments: For minor acne, a benzoyl peroxide wash is often helpful. For inflamed cysts and nodules, one would need both oral and topical medications. Modifying the diet to exclude dairy and high glycemic carbs is often helpful in decreasing acne breakouts. The most powerful acne medication is isotretinoin, a relative of vitamin a, that is taken for 6 months which has a high rate of acne cures.
