Hi, I am a female, 29 yrs, I have been suffering from acne since I was young but for the past 2 years it has been quite severe. I get about 1 breakout almost each day and it takes about 7-10 days to subside. I use clindamycin and aloe vera gel regularly. Please suggest something of a permanent cure.
