A. Well, usually for acne, you start with a topical medication that you can apply to the face. If you are having severe acne, you would probably need some oral medication. Usually, you start with an oral antibiotic combined with a topical agent so you can use something like tetracycline orally and then benzoyl peroxide. Tetracycline is prescription but benzoyl peroxide is just over the counter so Pan-Oxyl is a product with benzoyl peroxide.

How can i get a prescription for medical marijuana in Michigan?
Q. I have a debilitating illness and want a prescription for med marijuana. I have a feeling my neurologist will not write it.

A. A miracle and the fall of the Federal government. Even if you do successfully get a prescription, which I deeply hope you do because it DOES help, in California (just about the only place to get one) where they do have places to give out the prescriptions, feds shut them down relatively soon after they are open.
