Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I had a skin allergy and had immense breakouts. The pimples and acne have gone but have left too many icepick scars. So, please tell me about any home remedies which will do miracles for me and what should I add to my diet?
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
Home remedies are not going to work on any acne scars since the pathology is below the dermis and topical applications will not penetrate till that depth. The procedure like TCA (trichloracetic acid) would help for icepick scars.
