I have a dark scar on my leg which I want to try to get rid of or lighten as much as possible. I have both Retin A .1% and hydroquinone 4%. How to I apply these two on my scar?. Do I combine them and then put it on my scar or do I have to put them separately and if so when/how? And which one do I put on first?
I was in a car accident 4.5 months ago. I sustained an injury to my nose. They used dermabond to close it and after that fell off I began using hydrocolloid bandages on it until it was fully healed. Since then, about 3.5 months I've been using silicone sheeting on it. The scar is thin however I think it could look better. Can I start using tretinoin cream on it now to make it less noticeable or is it too early?
I have been on tretinon .025% for 10 months now. My acne has significantly reduced but I'm worried about some deep scars and enlarged pores that I have which are more noticeable in the sun. My derm ended the treatment from applying tretinoin everynight to 2 days per week further in future. I don't want to undergo abrasive treatments and would like to know if they'll reduce with overtime use?
My daughter walked into a tree branch and scraped her forehead. The scratch was not deep or wide. I put Mupirocin on it. My concern now is that she has a line about 1 1/2 inches long with a width of less then a centimeter that is indented. Will the indention go away and can Retin-A help? It is about 2 weeks old and she is 8 years old.
I am of Indian descent. I have scars on my arms and legs. They are not raised. Just discoloured. I can get a prescription from my dr for 7% (or even 14%) hydroquinone and Retin A. Will this help? Or is it best to use the hydroquinone with galaxal base on its own? Which will help the scars fade faster!? I am desperate. Summer is coming.
