How to treat uneven skin texture on the face?
Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I have some irregularly textured skin on my face that are not even visible if you are not trying to find them. Are they scars or damaged pores? Also, I have been using Dapsone for a month now and have applied BP 205 and Adapalene 0.1 in the past.
- Can these cause such texture damage?
- And what is the red part (encircled), is it PIH or something else?
- Also does Adapalene 0.1 alond with Clindamycin 1 improves skin texture?
Please help.
Thank you for your guidance.
Hi,
I am glad you chose icliniq for your medical-related queries.
I understand your concern and will try to help you with it.
You have post inflammatory hyperpigmentation with minute acne scars that are very few (attachment removed to protect patient identity). For PIH (post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation) you can use Aziderm (Azelaic acid) 20 % gel in the morning. For acne scars, you can continue Adapalene 0.1 % gel at night. If you want, you can go for chemical peeling and derma roller.
Thank you for consulting me.
You can always reach me at icliniq.com.
