I went to a dermatologist a month ago expressing my concerns with scarring/texture, red marks, and acne. While scarring was my main issue, the PA instantly said accutane saying it will fill in my scars (which I know is not true.) I don't believe my acne is that severe to be put on accutane. I also have several fresh piercings and I don't want them to reject and get affected. Is there any way I can treat my cystic acne, scarring, and red marks WITHOUT going on accutane? Thx!
Ive been on Accutane 5 1/2 months and feel that it has ruined my skin texture. I have red marks and indentations making my skin look much worse than before my course began. Will my indentations and red marks get better after my course is finished? Can the indentations fill in. I have been on high doses of Accutane throughout my course. Month 1 40mg and the rest 80mg.
Ive been off accutane for a month now and I m left with red marks left from old acne. This is my second time on accutane and I m even left with marks from the first time. Which was a year ago.... Is there any products or ANYTHING i can do to help my face ...
I've finished accutane 1 year ago , since then my face has been pretty much the same,red. I thought they will go away in 6-12 months,but no. I tried 50% glygolic peel about 5-6 of them and the last one for 40 mins and still NOTHING , its unbelieveble . I'm seriously consider that I will have to leave will these marks forever. Have any of you doctors heard or seen patients with permanent red marks before? P.S they look so much worse(red) in reality.
Accutane made my acne much worse before it got cleared. Now I'm left with tons of red marks from the inital break out. My acne was moderate when I started accutane , in August after 1 month , it was very severe with cysts , now everything cleared up and I have these red marks all over my face, I look 10 times worse than I looked when I started accutane , accutane made my skin worse!! Will red marks from inital breakout fade faster than normal red marks?
Im being on accutane for almost 2 months and my face begin to clear up from acne. I just want to know is it safe for me to incorporate vitamin c serum or any brightening serum in my skincare routine to reduce all those blemishes, red acne marks or PIH? Thanks in advance
I just started acutane a few weeks ago and i didn't think of it when i decided to get my eyebrows waxed. Two days ago i got my eyebrows waxed and there is still red marks surrounding my eyebrows. I was also wonder what the best treatment might be to help the redness/scars go away? so far i have been putting ice in a towel on top of it twice a day and then putting neopsporin.
I have been off accutane for around a year now. Along with the red marks left behind from my acne that have been slowly fading i now am getting pimples. It is only very mild compared to what i had before however i would like to know what i can do to get rid of these pimples preferarbly without going back on accutane. These new pimples also are leaving behind marks. I also have been using 10% Benzoyl perixide on my spots but it does nothing. Any suggetions to what i could try would be great :)
