ACNE
TOPICAL TREATMENT
Acne
is the most common skin problem treated by physicians in
United States and 85% of adolescents and young adults have
it. Acne is a multifactorial problem and often outgrown
with age, though many of us still experience intermittent
acne problems. While there are many helpful treatments,
they all have some degree of side-effects ranging from bothersome
to dangerous.
