A member asked:

What can i do if my boyfriend has terrible acne and nothing seems to help?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Scientific Rx: Acne that's severe enough for you to describe as "terrible" will require a dermatology consult and very likely isotretinoin. This will keep it at bay given at intervals but will not cure it -- it will remit eventually. If he has not yet had access to this, it's time. Best wishes.
