A member asked:

What could lead to my acne to get better then worse?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It does that: Acne is a serious, chronic, relapsing-and-remitting disease. Don't try to explain each outbreak. Your physician can treat you effectively and maintain you on a regimen between outbreaks that will make them fewer & milder.
