What will help my acne heal faster?

Scientific Rx: If benzoyl peroxide, available over the counter, has not worked after two weeks, your physician has medicines such as topical Clindamycin and retinoic acid derivatives that can usually clear you. If it is more severe, there's stronger rx. Good luck.

Simple treatment: Pimples occur when glands in our skin get blocked and what they secrete collects and causes pressure. The immediate response is inflammation (red, hot, tender swelling). This is the body increasing the blood flow to the injury to bring healing factors to the area and also the veins expand to carry bad stuff away. Gentle cleansing and avoid picking/squeezing lets nature take its course.
