How can i prevent pimples and back acne?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Serious Rx: No topical or "natural" remedy clears acne that is severe enough to involve the trunk. I'm sorry that you've been misled. If a systemic antibiotic such as tetracycline 500 2x/day does not clear you, it's time to get a dermatology referral for Isotretinoin or something similar.
