Avatar n tn My acne is clearing and I have no new breakouts, however I have lots of red marks where the acne was (post inflamatory hyperpigmentation possibly?)? Anyway, I was just curious if blue light or red light treatment would help, and can I use the light treatment while on Accutane? If not, what else could I do to reduce the appearance of the red marks? The acne is on my chest and is very hard to look at. I live in Florida and it is very hot and I cannot take off my shirt with this look.
Avatar n tn acne keeps getting brought up. I know it's hell, I have the scars. I've been using coconut oil on my skin for a month now. My face is clear, a few of the scars have faded, and my stretch marks from my first two kids are no longer angry red. It has s ton of other health benefits including hormone regulating and healthier pregnancy. If your desperate do some research and give it a shot!

Avatar n tn how do i get rid of acne scars of my face im a black male and finding it hard to find the right thing to use
Avatar f tn I do scar easily from acne, thats hereditary. I do have acne scars on my chest area, but below by breasts and down my stomach and sides, these random marks appeared on day. They are light brown-redish, dont hurt or itch or bother me physically except the skin is a little dry and coarse. But they wont go away and look terrible, It makes me very self conscious around my boyfriend and myself. Should I go to a dermatologist or will certain lotion/cream make them disappear?
Avatar n tn Are you seeing scars from the pimples or pimples? Typically acne scars will fade with time, but that depends on the severity and your skin. If you are having issues with acne, I recommend trying either Proactive or a product called Unblemish by Rodan and Fields- both you can locate by searching Google for them and order them online, I believe.
10348794 tn?1414503126 Try using tea tree oil or tea tree oil soap for the acne. The scars will take some time to fade, but there are many topical creams that can fade acne scars. It will take a little time. Try adjusting your diet to help your skin. Digestive problems and dietary problems result in skin problems. Eat more veggies, less sugar, only healhty oils, no fast food. Try reducing dairy. If you have Celiac disease you will have skin problems.
Avatar f tn Now I have hyperpigmentation scars on my arms, shoulders, and chest as well as acne, and am working with a dermatologist to limit the visibility of the scars and control the acne. From this I have learned that I scar very, very easily. Recently, I had started pulling the hairs from my shins, another part of the disorder. I sometimes still do this but no where near what it was a few months back. Naturally, scars formed after picking/squeezing out the hairs.
Avatar f tn i have acne and i managed to clear my face last week and there are just postinflammatory hyperpigmentation marks left where the acne was (reddish brown scars). i also have mild ice pick scarring and enlarged pores. i use acnecide 5% benzoyl peroxide gel every night for acne and yesterday night, i put on acnecide all over my fave and then put ambi fade cream with 2% hydroquione on top of it on my spots. i then put on aloe vera gel from holland and barretts as moisturiser.
Avatar n tn Hi, about 15 months ago i had a yeast infection on my penis. It left a couple scars so about 3 months ago i started putting mederma on them. I applied the mederma for about 5 weeks before i found out that your not supposed to do that which is when i stopped. The skin began splitting around the area where the mederma was applied (the tip of the penis and the skin directly below it).
Avatar f tn I was using to murad acne exfoliating gel and mederma skin care gel for that scars. Is it safe to continue using it? Please help!
Avatar f tn Yeah, try Conchar Nacar. It's a latin mask made from oyter shell. Great stuff. Use it like 2x a week. It will also help impurities on your skin. Make sure that you mix it before applying. It's a weird texture and looks like oatmeal when you put it on. But I have always used for a mask. http://www.americarx.com/BrandPages/Concha_Nacar_ProductName_ASC_25_1.
Avatar n tn I has been my experience that time lightens up the scars. I suffered from cystic acne which left dark spots and scars. The scars remained, but the spots faded to normal skin color. It takes a while.

Avatar f tn ve been on acne meds for 10 years because but it has not stopped the problems being red marks on my face that starts small and gets bigger and bigger burns badly and scars. Theres usually no pimple around that area and I dont not touch my face. Meds so far has not helped the to stop the scarring.
Avatar f tn Hello, Benzoyl peroxide is effective for active acne lesions.Since now you are left only with scars which are a result of scratching, so they are post inflammatory hyperpigmentation scars.The treatment is the same as advised. Hope it helps. Take care and pls do keep me posted on how you are doing or if you have any additional queries. Kind regards.

Avatar f tn My dermatologist recommended that I apply Benzamycin to cure mold/moderate acne. Four days ago, I applied a small amount on my face and the next day my face was fine. I didn't apply any on the next day. I applied a bit two days ago at night, and when I woke up and my face was red, dry, and itchy. I haven't applied any since then, but my face has remained red and itchy.
