How can I clear up my acne and even out my skin texture and skin tone?
How can I clear up my acne.
Aug 25, 2015
I agree with Dr Ruecki. You need to see a dermatologist for an acne treatment program. Optimal acne treatment for you would likely include a topical vitamin A medication by prescription combined with a topical antibiotic. If that did not clear your skin, you may be a candidate for one of the oral contraceptives that clears acne or oral antibiotics. The dark spots will fade or may be treated with a prescription skin brightener. Once your acne is clear, your doctor can assess whether or not…

There is no one best product. It is important to read labels to confirm the product is oil free or non comedogenic. Then it is trial and error to see what works for you.

The injection into the tendon likely has temporarily thinned the skin. Given time this should resolve. Avoid topical steroids to the area
Accutane, then retinoid. Is this a good route?
Is Accutane a good regimen for moderately severe acne.
Aug 9, 2015
Accutane , which is a retinoid is used for more severe cystic acne. It often will put acne into remission when taken for 5 months at a dose of 0.5-1 mg/kg. Low dose Accutane will work while you are taking it , but in the long run , the acne is likely to recur. If you are female another alternative is an oral contreceptive that is approved for acne, sometimes combined with Spironolactone, which blocks female testosterone. This can also be combined with a topical retinoid.

Aug 9, 2015
I agree with the prior answer, a vascular laser such as the VBeam laser will work.Or, give the spot time to fade. it may take a year but the majority of red scars will fade to skin color within 1 year or so.
I am 13. When I pop them white things come out of them. How can I get rid of these things on my fa
I have spots on my face that have white stuff when I squeeze them.
Aug 9, 2015
It sounds like you have early teenage acne. The first step is to try some OTC treatment such as a Salicylic Acid wash once or twice daily. If that is not effective , add in 5% Benzoyl Peroxide. If both together don’t work, I recommend that you see a dermatologist for prescription medication. And, don’t sqeeze acne bumps, you may cause scars.
Can photodynamic therapy work on the scalp?
Can photodynamic therapy work on the scalp?
Aug 9, 2015
Photodynamic therapy is FDA approved for treatment of precancers or actinic keratoses. They often occur on the scalp in men with hair loss or thinning hair. PDT is very effective treatment for this.
