Can I use Retin-A on my ice pick scar, will it help?

Question

J. Jason Wendel, MD, FACS · Answer

Thank you for your
question about Retin-A.Retin-A may be beneficial overall for your skin care but will likely make little difference in improving ice pick scars.

To be sure, see two
or more board-certified providers in your area for a complete evaluation to
make sure you are a good candidate and that it is safe for you to have
treatment.

I hope this helps.

Little will help with ice pick scars. Treatments with eMatrix are more effective for boxed scars and rolling acne scars and less likely for ice pick scars. Nevertheless, I recommend RR Retinoid Repair cream to all of my patients.
