Benzel peroxide 10% solution can help but it is a SEVERE drying agent--dries out your skin too. Retin-A can help but only with a Dr. supervision. Ultra violet light can help, but be CAREFUL!! Diet can make some difference, but not always. Anitibiotics can help (tetracycline), but again a Dr. is necessary. Anitibiotics can clean all the Good Guys out of your gut if you are not careful, then you end up in bad shape and possibly with a candida infection where you DON'T want it.
