Suggest Treatment For Acne And Acne Marks After Attaining Puberty

My son has been dealing with acne for a year now. We have tried everything at the store and even Proactive. I thought once his puberty was finished, maybe it would clear up. But it s all over his back and he ll be a senior next year and I would like for him to return to school with his acne cleared up. I want his self-confidence back. We don t want to try any more creams and I know there are antibiotics that can clear it right up. His friend went through the exact type of acne and after taking the antibiotic, it was like a miracle, his face had no open white heads and the acne was disappearing. I ve been asking for his doctors name, but he doesn t know and his want text me back with the name. So, now I m on my own and want to find someone who knows what they re doing and aren t going to try different treatments that don t work. My son will not use any more creams and I don t know if our insurance will cover the treatment, so if I have to pay out of the pocket I want someone who knows what they are doing and won t make a lot of unnecessary appointment that I will have to pay for. We live in Zanesville, OH and I m afraid of picking the wrong doctor.

Hi,

Take him to a cosmetologist or skin specialist for specific advise. He has to clean his mouth frequently to avoid sweating. Steaming helps in opening pours in skin.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
