Need exam: Acne is difficult to treat and require a long term strategy based on your skin composition and hormonal factors. There are standard medicines, antibiotics, creams and face washes etc. which need to be used and adjusted over time as indicated based in the response. Usually the primary physician can start the treatment and consult dermatology if needed.
