How to cure scars on cheeks?

Is Neosporin good to cure acne and acne scars?

  • Does Neosporin cure acne ??? Does Neosporin cure acne scars If so how long does it take plase hlp

  • Answer:

    No, you need something more aggressive. Acne is a skin infection. Oral antibiotics can help (you need a prescription). A home remedy is to wash your face 5 times a day with a really strong disinfectant soap (you could even add a little bleach to the water). This is very drying, but you can't have everything. If you are young, your skin will recover pretty well from acne on its own (in terms of scarring). Don't squeeze pimples - let them burst on their own (squeezing them drives pus into below the surface skin channels).

If you pop the pimples -- use the cream not the ointment and it will heal the broken skin much quicker

There are actually some cosmetic procedures that will help with acne scarring such as photofacials. The first thing that you should do is get the acne under control. I suggest using Proactiv. When a lot of products failed for me this one greatly helped. It reduced the amount of breakouts to almost nothing. Hope this helps.

Neosporin is an antibiotic ointment. It is good to heal anything that is infected. I don't think a scar would classify as an infection.I don't think it would help acne either. I have never had acne but I think I would check out products for skin care.

No. In fact, it could make it worse, since it's petroleum (grease) based. Putting grease on your face will just make your pores more likely to clog up and cause more acne. Use a real acne medicine to cure the acne. As for the scars, I don't know if anything works really well. Maybe some of those acid-based scar-reducing peels.

neosporin doesn't help, but if you can afford it go to your doctor & ask about Cleocin-T. Its a gel that you put on twice a day sarts to work immediately and can clear your face completely in 2-3 weeks. The Rx doesn't cost much either.

No, in fact, it can make them worse because of the grease. An alcohol product or the like are best.

No No NO! Its way too oily. Stick to approved over the counter remedies\ or see a dermatologist.
