That you're unhappy: You have nothing to apologize for if you were compliant. Your physician's job is to guide you in getting the health outcomes you want. Folks remedies usually fail; topical benzoyl peroxide clears only 50%; if topical clindamycin, topical retinoic acid and systemic tetracycline 500 2x/day have failed, time to consider spironolactone and/or isotretinoin.
