Answer 2

Try the Wal-Mart brand of Proactive. I think it's called ProAcne. I really liked it when I used it. It suppose to take the redness away too. It's less than $20 and lasted me about a month or a little longer. I even got compliments on how healthy and glowing my skin was. Since I've stopped using it, I don't get as many pimples as before. I am going to get some more just so I have the glowing skin.
Hope that helps.

If you’re looking for accurate acne information, best to see a dermatologist. Some people believe doctors are predisposed to take the easy way to deal with acne… prescription drugs. But, with many, this simplistic answer may not be the appropriate course of action. Some feel that such prescription drugs just treat the symposium and not the underlying cause. But, a local dermatologist is still your best starting point.
For me personally, I discovered a great informational acne treatment site. Not only is there good information/articles but I got their audio e-book and following it’s advice can now say that my acne is a thing of the past! Keep in mind, were all different and there are various types of acne, so what works for some may not be totally effective for all.

Bottom line, hang in there, you will get past this! Sincere best wishes and good luck.

Pluck a fresh leaf from an aloe vera plant, remove the gel and apply on affected areas a few times a day till they heal and dry up. Use the colorless internal gel of the leaf only; take care not to apply the yellow sap from the leaf skin, as it can be irritating to your skin. Try that. It works!

Also suggest you read the book, "The Amazing Heart" by Ray Chee that explains the internal problems that go on inside you, and how to heal yourself not only of acnes, but also many other ailments and diseases.

Answer 5

You have acne scars.
Acne scars are of two types:
1. Scars that are formed by loss of tissue are called depressed scars.
2. Scars caused by increased tissue formation are called hypertrophic scars or keloids.

Note that every person has a different tendency of scar formation. Some people develop less scars, while others may have major scars for the same type of acne.

Depressed Scars:
You see these kinds of scars when skin loses mass below the healed area. that depresses the skin. These scars may be of different types such as ice-pick scars, depressed fibrotic scars, soft scars and macular types. During the course of acne, as the cyst expands with pus, bacteria, oil and dead skin cells, it ruptures and infects the dermis. To protect the dermis, the white blood cells rush in. This rupture may cause loss of collagen giving rise to deep recess or depression. The skin above is left unsupported because of loss of tissue below it and a saucer shaped or jagged ice-pick scar is formed. Ice-pick scars are more common on the face.


Treatments Of Acne Scars


Acne scars leave their mark not only on the skin but also on the persons' psyche. With rapid developments in dermatology, treating acne scars is becoming easier. Consult your dermatologist about the best treatment for your acne scars. The choice will depend upon your medical history, the type of scar and the treatments available for that type of scarring. Some treatments are cheaper but may not give the best results. The choice therefore also depends on your budget and the kind of results you desire. Read below for the kinds of treatments available for acne scars.

Dermabrasion:
This is considered one of the most effective treatments for acne scars. In this procedure, the doctor uses a local anesthetic or freezes the skin and then uses a high-speed rotary abrader to remove unwanted surface skin. As the skin heals, it shows a brighter appearance. This procedure may remove superficial scars totally and reduce deeper scars.

Chemical Peeling:
Depending on the scar, the doctor applies a mild chemical peel on the affected skin. This slowly peels away the old skin and fresh skin surfaces. Mild scars can be treated with chemical peels.

Laser Therapy:
Different lasers are used by the doctors to give a new shape to the scarred skin by recontouring the scars. The high burst of laser may make the skin red for some time.

Soft Tissue Filling:
Collagen, which may be bovine in source or the patients' own, may be injected below the scar to lift the skin and give it a smooth appearance. As the injected collagen gets absorbed in the body over a period, further treatments may be needed after about six months. Similarly fat may be injected below deep scars for giving a skin lift. Similar to collagen filling, fat injections may need to be repeated after some months. Your doctor will advise you about that.

Skin Surgery:
Skin may have to be surgically corrected with grafting or other procedures to remove some scars.

Microdermabrasion:
In this procedure. very tiny aluminum oxide crystals are passed through a vacuum tube to scrape the surface of the skin. This procedure may have to be repeated many times. It gives a fresh look to the skin by scraping. Very mild scarring can be treated with microdermabrasion.

First of all it is not going to be over in a week.

Secondly, before taking any meds I would try natural homemade remedies.
