Common Questions and Answers about Best acne scarring cream

acne

Avatar n tn Acne is a common condition that affects most people and some people develop severe acne that leads to permanent and sometimes disfiguring scarring. The term "scarring" refers to a process where collagen within the skin is damaged from inflammation, leading to permanent texture changes in the skin. Treatment of scarring may vary depending on the kind of scarring present. This can be assessed by a dermatologist.
Avatar m tn ve read various reviews on using hydrocortisone cream for the face with people stating it thins out your skin and worsens acne symptoms. I feel the Clindamycin is acceptable, but I am wondering if it is safe to use the hydrocortisone cream or if I should substitute it with desonide OR just skip those two ointments altogether? I don't mind using Differin by itself if it comes down to it.
Avatar f tn About twenty years ago I was treated with a prescription cortisone cream for an allergic reaction on my cheeks. I continued to use it nightly for a couple of years even though the rash resolved in about a month. It just made my cheeks feel really good. My dermatologist told me it could cause thinning of my skin so I stopped. A couple of months ago I woke up to fing a pock mark on my cheek. I never had acne or any infection in that spot.
Avatar n tn Daughter wants to get a chemical peel for some acne scarring on her facial cheeks. She has been on antibiotics (too harsh on stomach), antibiotic topical cream, retin-A, you name it over the years. We even paid out of pocket for dermabrasion treatments several years ago. She is currently on the form of the Pill as well to help with the acne. There is some scarring, but not severe. She is a young woman and frustrated and wants a solution to this situation.

Avatar n tn I just got back from the Derm today and he reviewed my skin and he said that my acne redness is scarring.. Now i thought scarring is indentions in the skin? Is it not and that acne redness will fade with time because according to my derm he said that my acne redness is scarring and that the redness wont go away and that theres nothing that can be done about it. He said that i'll have to live with it for the rest of my life and that the only possible treatment for this is laser.
Avatar n tn azelaic acid 20% cream; salicylic acid 1–2% cream or gel; alpha hydroxy acid preparation; trichloroacetic acid 10–20% peel. You can visit a Dermatologist as to which treatment is suitable for you. Keep me informed if you have any queries. Bye.
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 It should be avoided on active acne but is very good for scarring, wrinkles and very dry skin areas. This is known to be good for any sun-damaged or traumatised skin. Remember to give any new skin product at least 2 weeks to show results. Consistency is the key. You will have to wait around 2 to 4 MONTHS to see the best results and from there on it should just keep getting better. A word of warning about any chemical peels, micro-dermabrasion and laser treatements.
Avatar n tn t deep or anything they just make the skin look red like scars from mild acne. The splitting of the skin has pretty much healed up completely but the scars are still there. Theres an annoying blister on there too. My question is: is it possible to get any laster treatment or or pulsed light or dermabrasion or anything on my penis to help with the scarring? A pamphlet for Palomar pulsed light says it can be performed anywhere on the body except around the eyes.
Avatar n tn ve seen a doctor twice for this - he prescribed doxycycline to try and clear up the acne - which it has gone away with just a little scarring - but now I am left with painful, sometimes burning skin in the groin fold. It appears very dry, but I am hesitant to apply any sort of moisturizers in that area. There are no blisters, redness, etc...just pain! The skin is slightly white but looks like a similar texture to dry skin on another area of my body like my hands.
Avatar m tn Recently i heard that toothpaste works as a great acne cream. All excited i rushed to put some on the few pimples that I had and had decided to use it as a facial mask on the areas around my nose. I made a horrible mistake and had left it on overnight. My skin feels amd looks like I have really bad sunburn and have just came back from a trip to mexico. It's very dry around my nose and is starting to peel, i believe. What should i do, and will any scarring be involved.?
Avatar n tn My dermatologist said it is an infection that just looks like acne, and put me on a steriod cream and antibiotics, which have done wonders. I dont think it is acne...
Avatar f tn I even had cystic acne on top of oily skin and zits everywhere. Honestly the best thing to do is let your skin breathe. No make up. I wouldn't recommend the tooth paste. It will dry up your skin and may cause a negative reaction like clogged pores. You can use acne products that do not contain salicylic acid, which most of them do. What saved my skin was the st. Ives avocado scrub, use every other day, and the Nuetrogena naturals moisturizer and cream wash I use daily.
Avatar f tn ll get scarring because of the type of acne (cystic acne is apparently more prone to scarring). Is there any way to minimize the scarring? What do you ladies use to cover up? when does it go away?
Avatar f tn t tried any topical or antibiotic prescriptions, and my acne is not severe, they thought accutane would be best as a first measure because it will knock out the acne, which will mean no additional scars. I was not well informed by my dermatologist about what I can expect my scarring to be like during the course of the accutane. She just said that if we stop the acne, we stop the scarring, then several months after we can look into their array of scar treatments.
Avatar n tn Okay I know this topic isn't acne, but I couldn't find any other place to go too, and I'm wondering if I'm going to get a permanent scarring from my Cold Sore. I've had Cold Sore for a very young age, and before it wouldn't scar even when I first got it I was doing everything wrong. (rubbing it, itching it till it bleed, peeling it off when it was like exploding) and even through that it didn't scar it just went away without a mark.
Avatar n tn What would you recommend I do? I have some residual scarring from my previous acne, and pigmentation has only recently evened out, so I'm fairly anxious that the situation doesn't develop further. Is it in any way normal to have a couple zits at a time even after a 'succesful' course of accutane? And if not, what would a dermatologist consider for someone in my situation -- assuming that the acne doesn't progress massively beyond the current level.
Avatar f tn What does skin atrophy look like? I used a steroid cream Triamcinolone on my face months back. I used it periodically over the course of 3 to 4 months. Now my facial skin looks almost scarred. I can't quite tell if it is permanent scarring or atrophy. Can a steroid cream produce scarring? Is this reversible? How long does it usually take to reverse?
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.
Avatar f tn Hi, Acne scarring results when the visible remnants of acne are left on the skin after the acne itself subsides. The best way of treating acne scars is to start early. There are some treatments available for this condition. By using topical treatments prescribed by your dermatologists, such as biological acne scarring treatment where in the old, damaged tissues and scars are replaced by new cells.
Avatar m tn Have you tried an acne face wash and acne face cream? Did you experience symptoms of depression before your acne problems?
Avatar f tn t help I would ask your mom to take you to an allergist the doctor can test you to find out for sure and can prescribe a cream to put on it.
