How to cure acne?

I have a lot of acne on my face, chest, back chest, shoulder and neck. I haven't gone to any clinic or dermatologist because of having not enough. What should I do?

We do recommend getting a dermatology consult to treat recurring acne.

To whom it may concern,

Acne is highly treatable with prescription therapy ranging from topical benzoyl peroxides, Retin A, and oral antibiotics. An evaluation either in-office or online would suffice to begin therapy. Depending upon where you live, go to DermatologistOnCall.com and pick a network provider who is licensed in the state to which you reside or go to the AAD.org website and find an in-office dermatologist in your locale.

Depending on the type, Proactiv and/or Adapalene, both over the counter.
