What's left after acne: to heal. [skin color] [acne]
Hello. Im new here. Ill get to the point. I have red or dark red or some sort of mark on my cheek. The acne that caused me this much pain on the cheeks and hearts (I mean emotionally or spiritually on the heart part). Is there one thing that can heal or they relate to the color of the mark? I am Asian with a white color (not brown Im funny, but I am white in color, so you can see the mark very well).
Reply:I had these scars for months, and did you say that it'll cause things worse when you try to get rid of scars while still having acne?
Reply:meredith….don't risk it because your skin is very sensitive on accutane and microderm can cause scarring. Its best to wait 6 months to one year after your last dose of accutane before having any procedures (chemical peels, microderm,or other scar treatments) done. Even though at home treatments aren't as harsh, don't take the chance. Just worry about healing your acne now and worry about scars later.
xlonewolfxp…..consider adding some sort of Alpha Hydroxy Acid (i.e. glycolic acid) to your skin care regimen whether it be a cleanser or toner (homemade or store bought). AHAs dissolve the glue that holds dead, dry skin cells to the surface allowing them to shed quicker. This helps to alleviate hyperpigmentation and also to smooth out the overall skin tone.
Other things you can do is to wear sunscreen and to avoid the sun. Avoid drying your skin out and wear a moisturizer.
Most important, be patient because time is the best way to get rid of those spots. They are most likely not permanent and can take 1 month to 1 year to go away completely. By following the above you can speed up the process.
Hope this helps!
Reply:can someone currently on accutane do this to even out holes and marks? or does micodermabrasion do to much for sensitive skin
Reply:An at-home microdermabrasion kit might help to fade the red marks and even out your skin tone. The neutrogena one is supposed to be quite good.
It's much more expensive, but you can also get microdermabrasion done professionally.
