When I was in med school, I had a lot of pimples. I tried every home remedy for acne that was recommended to me. I went to the dermatologist. All to no avail. The acne would improve a bit but would recur later.
Later, an OB resident noted my pimple scars. She suggested that I take Diane 35. It's a birth control pill really. And it worked.
Lesson learned: Sometimes things are not what they seem.
