Acne scars
Khadeeja asks,
For the last 3 years, I have been getting pimples but recently, they have worsened. I am only 16 years old. My pimples disappear but leave a permanent dark scar. I have tried everything but my skin tends to get worse. Now I am afraid to try anything new. What should I do?
Dear Khadeeja,
For acne scars treatments like microdermabrasion, glycolic acid peels or herbal peel, can be done. 4-6 sittings are required at an interval of 4-6 weeks. Make sure a trained professional does it. Creams containing Azelaic acid, Vitamin-C, Kojic acid when applied at night will help in lightening it to a certain level.
Oily and rough skin
Sathish Kumar asks,
I am Sathish, a 19 year old. I have an extremely oily and rough skin with lots of pimples. Wherever I get pimples, they leave a red scar on my face. I currently apply 'Erythromycin tropical gel U.S.P -acnesol gel' and 'no marks' once at night. But I am not satisfied with the results. I continue to get pimples and the marks deepen and darken with time. My friends are avoiding me because of this and that makes me very depressed. I am unable to have a balanced diet because of my family situation. Can you please suggest any vitamins for this? Please suggest a remedy, I would be very grateful to you.
Dear Sathish,
Don't get depressed. Pimples are curable. Since you get pimples on and off, take cyclical antibiotics like Azithromycin x 6 days in a month for 2-3 months. Continue - acnesol gel on pimples at night. You can take antioxidant, iron capsules, Vitamin-C once a day for 3 months. Drink plenty of water, which flushes out the toxins from the body. Deworming once in 6 months will be helpful. You can use skin lightening creams containing Hydroquinone / Vitamin-C/ Azelaic acid at night.
