Hi Dr, i am a 18 year old male, i have a acne prone skin which results in frequent pimples on my face like papules and pustules , and also acbe acne scars ,in order to treat this should i take retinoid? ,If i, which type of retinoid you should suggest to me?
Im not sure if starting a retinoid this early will do more harm than good. Theres lots of contradicting information on the internet. Some doctors say age doesnt matter, but others say I should start with a retinol instead. I heard that retin-a is good to start young, but how young? Also will it have a negative affect if i start too young? My skin is pretty normal, i just want to prevent wrinkles and sun damage.
I'm definitely prone to nasolabial folds but GOD... I'm only 23 and have those big under cheeks shadows that seems to be getting quickly worst even though I have a skin care routine and properly use gua sha. I just read about someone having their undereye deepened because of tretinoine. Would it be the same with naso folds and retinol? The photo is not the best but you can see what I mean.
I have had these dark circles since the age of 9 years old. I am 22 now. They seem a bit reddish/brown, almost like the blood is stuck there. In the past my iron levels were low and I do have a dust mite allergy, can this be the cause? Are these circles allergic shiners? I want to start using tretinoin cream to thicken the skin there, will this help? The pictures are taken in different lighting so you can really see how they look. Thankyou in advance
The lines under my eyes began to develop at age 19, I'm now 23, not much has changed, except for those crows feet lines present only at the left side of my face. When I smile I don't have any wrinkles, nor do the lines I have worsen, it's when my face is at rest that they show. I use sunscreen religiously and avoid smoking, don't know why I have those lines. Also, should I start OTC retinol or prescription Retin-A?
I'm 21 old and I'm getting constantly clogged pores and acne since 3 years on my face resulting in the formation of a large open pore and rough textured skin, blackheads, whiteheads and bumpy skin is constantly prevailing. I fear increasing large open pores. will Retin-A help with this? is it all right to use Retin-A 0.025% at this age?
I am 21 and recently Ive noticed my face sagging a little bit. I dont know if its from lack of sleep from my baby keeping me up all night or the fact that Ive gained 15 pounds from what I was pre-pregnancy. My cheeks look like they are sliding down and I have slight jowls now? Can this be reversed if I lose weight? Or would retin- a help?
I am a 24 yr old. I have been taking 10mg Accutane and Androcur for 6 months (currently tapering off). I still have scarring and large pores which fill easily and bad texture. Out of everything I have researched I am considering starting RetinA for clogged pores and skin tone, and dermaroller for collagen production to fill in my pores. I am worried that retinA will make my pores appear larger and permanently damage my skin. Will these help? microdermabrasion last year made my skin much worse
I have recently taken on the task of taking better care of myself and I have noticed that I am very much in need of hygiene. I do not know if they are like this because of the dirt or some permanent damage. What professional treatments or skin care products do you recommend? I've heard that Retin-A is very good. I am patient and I am willing to wait for good results. Note: Ive oily skin, Im in my 23 and my skin is much whiter.
