An answer that may be a little more focused than second opinions. Oddly enough I began the same treatment just under a week ago. My primary physician whom I have the utmost faith in told me I had sun damage not adult acne, just red spots on my forehead. He said that if I wanted to avoid having him remove precancerous spots on a regular basis the treatment would be a good choice. His directions were the same as your first opinion, twice daily, see him in two weeks, Possibly addtional two weeks of treatment. He showed me pictures of very red faced patients undergoing treatment, he described sometimes really unsightly temporary condition. It is essential to keep treatment area from sun (UV) for up to two months. The damaged spots will ulcerate and then heal. Expect things to get worse before they get better. I would go with opinion one and stay away from opinion two in this case.
