My acne is getting progressively worse, what can i do to stop this?

Scientific Rx: I trust you have tried benzoyl peroxide and it is not strong enough. Your physician can manage acne effectively, or far hard cases get you a referral. Topical clindamycin, systemic tetracycline, a topical retinoic acid derivative may all be in your future. Your disease is not lifestyle or hygiene related. You deserve to be effectively treated.
