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 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 I have researched the best OTC treatment for scars and found clinical studies that say not only does Vitamin E not help reduce scars, but is NOT recommended by dermatologist for use on scars. Many studies have been done on topical vitaminv E, that showed no improvement in the appearance of scar, and in many, the vitamin e made ascars WORSE than untreated due to irritation and/or contact dermatitis. There are a few clinically proven scar reduction methods. Many involve lasers or injections.
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.

Vitamins C helps in the regeneration of white blood cells that helps the immune system fight infection. Good source of vitamin C: carrots, guava, oranges, berries and most fruits and vegetables.

Avatar m tn Treatment options include treatment with vitamin C and hydrocortisone, peel with carbon dioxide snow and alexandrite and ND-Yag Q-Switched laser treatment preceded by a hydroquinone-based application. Please discuss these options with your dermatologist.

Avatar n tn It is available as a patch or strip and safely reduces scars. For facial scars like acne, use ScarAway Serum. Very effective, although the patches (often referred to as silicone scar sheets) are most effective so use them when feasible, and serum only when you cannot use the strip in the area.
Avatar f tn hi DR, thanks very much. most forum says negative about chicken pox scarring but these website has positive response. thank you all. my daugter is using vitamin E cream. also calamine as i heard zinc oxide in calamine is soothing even after lesion are healed. i work in a college where some dr. study one friend who is a dr said she will improve with given time. so to all who have chicken pox there is hope in the end of the tunnel.
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.

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 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 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 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 also have some scars in my face, like tiny holes because of acne. besides the treatment i´m already in to eliminate them, is there anything else I can do to accelerate the process of removing them?
Avatar n tn After 2 week of exposure,,,while i was looking through mirror i had seen lot of black rashes on my back,its like back acne scars or something like that.i felt terrified on seeing that,i was sad to think think that i caught hiv,during the following days i noticed pimples coming on my hands and chest bt they disapper after a day or 2...i was full of fear and anxiety during that time...my back i full of scars now,i am using some antibiotics and vitamin tablets now..
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 wonder, if I take accutane, will this eliminate current acne? My fear is that the current pimple scars. For christ sake, this has been my entire youth. I want to date. Its ******* valentines day and I never get a break. it is very frustrating. My skin is far from perfect as is nevermind more acne or possibly a scar.
