A member asked:
My acne some times seem to be cure but they occur again and again. what to do?

Chronic disease: It will continue to flare until you eventually outgrow it. You'll need to find a maintenance level of medication that works for you. This is between you and your physician -- home remedies will usually disappoint you. You may end up on tetracycline 250 daily plus regular use of benzoyl peoxide. All acne can be managed scientifically but it requires compliance. Good luck.
