[quote=Anonymous]OP, you've received many suggestions here. For the hormonal angle--and I am one of the promoters here--if your DD has any one of the following in addition to acne, run, do not walk, to an OB for a hormonal check: irregular periods, hairiness in places where you'd rather not have hair, and overweight. Any one of those in combination with acne would point to polycystic ovary sundrome (PCOS). About ten percent of females have this, making it quite common. If she has PCOS she can do all sorts of surface things for acne but it will not address the problem. If she doesn't have any other symptoms of PCOS, consider one or two of the other at home approaches for a month or two, then consider going to a dermatologist.[/quote]
