How would doctors recommend i treat pimples and blackheads on my face and back?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Scientific Rx: Acne on the trunk almost always requires systemic prescription rx. Since there are many blackheads, one combination might be tetracycline 500 2x/day plus a topical retinoic acid derivative. Good luck.
