Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
My girlfriend's skin bothers her because she has a lot of scars, and she has no idea why she has them. She stopped eating oily foods because we thought that was the leading cause. Still, it continued to contribute to the scars and some pimples, so what could be the cause, and is there any treatment for acne scars? Kindly help.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I read your query and can understand your concern.
Acne is a chronic condition that responds differently to medicines. It needs regular monitoring and a lengthy course of therapy. It usually happens between 25 and 28, but it can happen later. Once acne lesions heal, they leave acne scars. Still, these acne scars heal with post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) for a short time in light-skinned individuals. Still, these PIH persist for longer in some individuals, possibly for up to two weeks. Still, this duration can be reduced by using depigmenting cream, sunscreen, and sun protection. You must follow particular dietary limitations, such as avoiding greasy, spicy meals, junk food, milk products, and non-vegetarian foods. Drink plenty of water to keep your skin hydrated. Also, use a good quality face cleanser to clean your face twice daily. Hair oil aggravates forehead acne.
I hope I have answered your question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards.
