A member asked:

I am curious if acne itches does it mean its healing?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Probably not: The books say that some people become allergic to the microbes that cause acne. It's time to get serious rx. If topical benzoyl perxoide has not cleared you in two weeks, or you have it on your trunk, get with your personal physician. You owe it to yourself.
