Burn scar?

Question

Hi, I was a big idiot to think that toothpaste would remove pimples, now i see the cause of toothpaste upon pimples. I recently had a pimple so i put toothpaste on it, the next morning it turned into a slight burn, so i decided to remove the burn. I put aloe vera on the burn and the skin pealed off in about a day. The next morning I saw underneath the pealing skin is darker/brown/redish skin. It doesn't seem to be removing, I have applied soap, neutrogena, nivea cream, spectro gel and mainly aloe vera on the infected area.

I was just wondering if there is anyway to remove the "scar"(hopefully it is not) without using surgical actions.

NOTE: The original pimple is removed, only the dark skin color is visible and clearly shows where the toothpaste has been applied

I do not believe that there is an infection, the pimple is GONE!, the skin seems to be very smooth on area where the pimple was, although, there is now a different skin color which may look like a scar.

Answer 1

You said recently, scars take a while to form and tooth paste doesn't really burn like that. I expect that its your original pimple under there and its pretty pissed off. Let it go or use proper acne face wash. Give it a few weeks, it takes that long for derm problems to change.

Answer 3

Scars can be removed by having an operation- a cosmetic one- so it could cost you quite a bit. Any of these fad creams are unlikely to work i'm afraid, especially as the scar is fairly old now, all they do is moisturise the scar.

Answer 4

let it go my tush. please please go to a doctor. the worst mistake you can make is to ignore this. you could be looking at an infection, or even staphilococus. this is a very serious condition that cna result in sickness and even death. ps this is no joke. a doctor cna check to make sure and provide antibiotics if neccesary. but please get checked before anything worse comes of it.

for future refference. there are many good over the counter medications for acne control. check with your doctor for a list they reccomend or the pharmacist.

also aloe vera is prim arilly a reliever. its used to soothe burns pain not to remove scarring its like aspirin (semi sorta) in that it can lessen pain form a burn. but it is not good for an infection. thats why you never put aloe vera on a fresh burn victim.

again please see a doctor as soon as possible to make sure your safe.
