How to improve facial texture after pimples?
Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I can feel scars on my face, an uneven texture with some indentations in my skin from past pimples. Please help.
Thank you.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I read your query and can understand your concern.
It looks like you are dealing with acne scars. Your skin also appears to be acne-prone, so it is important to treat both active breakouts and the leftover scarring.
Recommendations:
1. Benzoyl peroxide cream 2.5 % – Apply to active acne twice a day for one hour, then wash off.
2. Salicylic acid face wash – Use twice daily to help prevent clogged pores and reduce inflammation.
3. Tretinoin cream 0.025 % – Apply to acne scars three times a week at night to promote skin cell turnover and improve skin texture.
Additionally, professional dermatological treatments such as chemical peels, laser resurfacing, microneedling, and dermal fillers have shown effective results for acne scars. You should consult with a dermatologist to discuss which procedures might be best for your skin.
I hope this helps.
Kindly revert so I can assist you further.
Thank you.
