Not everyone has the $$ for this.  Hard to believe but it's true.  I tried everything OTC but nothing worked for my acne.  I paid out of pocket for Retin A which didn't work for me years ago.  It was too strong.  I saved for more than a year to pay for Accutane since it wasn't covered by insurance.  It worked but after I had a child, the acne returned.  I tried Retin A again (the generic) and it still cost more than $200/tube.  Thankfully the formula has improved and it works but not everyone can afford these treatments if OTC stuff doesn't work.  My tube of Retin A lasts for a while which is good since it is $$$$.[/quote]

And some kids don't want to see a doctor.  Or the family had other medical issues they were dealing with.  Honestly, why would you chastise someone like this?  Try to use your imagination and empathy to understand the situation instead of belittling others.      [/quote]
