A member asked:

I have acne, i've tried loads of stuff like freederm but i can't get rid of it, it's getting worse. any tips?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Time for REAL Rx: Freederm is nicotinamide, not as good as benzoyl peroxide. Try this. If not clear in 2 wk, physician's office visit. Options may include topical retinoic acid derivative, topical clindamycin, the oral contraceptive pill for a woman who can take it, and/or an appropriate systemic antibiotic right for the patient. Tough cases referred for isotretinoin. Manage as a chronic disease. Good luck.
