Scars after Spots?

Acne advice for red spots and acne scars?

  • I went to the dermatologist three months ago. When I went, I had bad acne mostly around my cheeks and jaw. The doctor then prescribed retin-a and clindamycin phosphate lotion. I have stopped using the lotion (because it made my skin extremely oily) but I have been using retin-a every night using salicylic acid mornings and nights. I don't have many breakouts anymore but I have a lot of red spots. The thing that I'm most stressed about is my acne scars. I noticed last week that I have a huge acne scar on my right cheek!! And it looks like a few more acne scars are developing. The scars seem to be getting deeper every day or at least more noticeable. I know I can't do much about the present acne scars but what can I do to prevent future acne scars? Stop using retin-a or salicylic acid?... Try a different face wash? Also, how can I reduce these red spots? By the way, I have brown skin and I haven't been picking or squeezing at whiteheads. Your advice would be extremely appreciated! Thanks

  • Answer:

    I had the same problem as you, and i also went to the dermatologist, he prescribed me some medication and a cream. But he got me an appointment with an aesthetician that did some peeling on my acne scars and it really worked:) get an appointment with an specialist in acne scarring. DONT WAIT ANY LONGER!!! ITS BETTER NOWW!!! TRUST ME :D

My advice would be to not over wash your face, drink lots of water (40 or more ounces a day) and try to stay away from sugar and salt.
