A member asked:

I have never had acne before; how do i get rid of breakouts?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Ed Friedlander answered

Scientific Rx: You'd do well to use topical benzoyl peroxide whether or not you have active lesions. If this doesn't keep things quiet, get with your personal physician.
