1155893 tn?1263018015 Hello, Tretinoin or Retin A is the acidic form of vitamin A. it is used for acne as well as post inflammatory hyperpigmentation caused by acne scars after acne. You can use it as advised by your dermatologist. I hope it helps. Take care and regards.
883279 tn?1244102594 Hi, if you would like to use a natural product to help fade acne scarrring or repair sun damaged skin, then look for an oil that has Vitamin E (or even break open a Vitamin E capsule and smear it into the damaged skin). My favourite is Jojoba Oil which is high in Vitamin E and suitable for all skin types.
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.
1157646 tn?1343967128 Thanks for your input, I add vitamin E to my regular skin moisturiser anyway so it does get vitamin E twice a day. Thank you!!
Avatar m tn For the scars of acne, treatments with acids and chemical peels can be effective but can take a while for the skin to totally revert to its normal color. Microdermabrasion can also be done, but this might require several sessions. Skin resurfacing using lasers is also an option. It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided.
Avatar f tn Generally good scar treatments are vitamin E, pierce a vitamin E capsule and rub the oil into the scar. Another option which works well for me is Bio Oil. Rub the bio oil into the scar 2 times a day and usually within about 3 months the scar is alot fainter in colour and less red. But, both Vitamin E and Bio oil can only be applied when the scar does not have any areas where the wound is still open.
Avatar f tn ve been using the dermaroller 1.5 for a month and a half followed by vitamin C capsules from The Body Shop / Bio Hydrating cream (15 PHA) from Neo Strata and I've noticed some considerable improvement, about 50% percent , regarding the look and feel of my skin and acne scars.
Avatar n tn s natural healing ability in mind, dermatologists should know that some scar therapies are a waste of time and money. Breaking vitamin E capsules on scars to minimize their appearance, for example, has shown no benefit in studies and can cause allergic reactions, according to Dr. Spencer (Baumann LS, Spencer JM. Dermatol Surg. 1999;25:827). Topical onion extract therapy (Mederma, Merz Pharmaceuticals) has failed, for the most part, to show benefit in studies as well, he adds.
Avatar n tn Apply creams containing vitamin E on the scars. If it still persists then you can go in for laser treatment, photodermabrasion or microdermabrasion. Avoid picking, harsh scrubbing, and abrasive treatments unless prescribed by a dermatologist during this period. It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your dermatologist.
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 m tn i am a teenager girl 17years old. i have acne problem and oily skin and acne scars i have tried everything and every treatment nothing happend.so how should i cure my acne and my acne scares and oily skin.
Avatar f tn I have had acne treatment by roaccutance nearly 2 yrs back...although i have a dark complexion but i have an uneven skin tone. It is darker around lips and forehead and sort of lighter on my cheeks, where there are acne scars ....Is there some thing that can give me an even tone.
Avatar f tn I found that long-term use of vitamin B5 reduced my scars greatly. You need to take 500 mg daily. There are no side effects. But you must be patient. The improvement is slow and steady. You will start to see results after about six months.
Avatar n tn Just keep you face clean by washing with a mild soap atleast twice a day. Pat it dry and do not rub it. Avoid picking or pressing the acne. You can also use Benzoyl peroxide 5% lotion or gel once at bedtime. An amount of lotion the size of a pea should be enough to cover most of your face. If your skin becomes red or peels, you are using too much of the medicine or applying it too often. If the symptoms persist then topical antibiotics like Clindamycin may be needed.
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.

20910642 tn?1627445346 Nothing else worked for me, as a result, scars have already formed. 95% of my scars are located on my cheeks and temples. 99% of the scars are "rolling" scars. I'm currently 25 years old and male, and I've been 1.5 years off Accutane and any oral medication for treating acne. My acne is now under control.
Avatar m tn I got a pimple and some cystic acne spots. It usually precedes a breakout. I am going to try and get on accutane. Does it cause scars? Should I let the spots heal first or should I get on accutane immediately? I have literally tried everything you can imagine. Diets, low glycemic, multi vitamin, salads, low carb, you name it. Cut out all flour and sugar. I get temporary relief and it comes back. I would give a testicle to get away from acne.
Avatar n tn I have acne scars on my face they're red and black what should I do to get rid o them I'm having them for 2 years now
Avatar f tn I only have a little bit of acne on my chin and im having a little girl.
Avatar f tn Does anyone know about the scarring after-effects of accutane? I've read several reports of scarring left after it's use. I'm sure that scars are to be expected, as with any open wound, but I don't know if these reports are by anyone with abnormalities with healing/scarring. Here is the situation... I have mild, maybe slightly moderate acne. I get keloids on other parts of my body, but thankfully not my face. I still get abnormal facial scarring though.
