Hello, I was having some pimples on my face. So I visited the doctor to treat it. I was given microdox lbx, with benzoyl peroxide. I have noticed that after taking this my pimples have been greatly increasing. I'm clueless what's happening. Does it dosage get the pimples out at first ?

Which one has your doctor advised you to use? ## i have pimples,i have tried honey,baking soda and other creams but none has worked,if i try to use oxy 10,will it remove my pimples and for how long,please help me,am down and i always feel ashamed of myself.
