A member asked:
I am a teenager with mild acne, will a baking soda and water mask get rid of my acne?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: This will make a mess and disappoint you. Use a real medication. If your acne is mild, topical benzoyl peroxide for two weeks will probably cure you. If not, get with your personal physician -- if you're big enough to contact healthtap, you can make your own doctor's apponitment.
