I have a little reddish discoloration between my eyebrows. I don't know why its there or how to get rid of it. However I can say that I used to overuse tea tree oil not knowing what the heck I was doing, soon stopped and turned to acne treatments such as AcneFree University Medical treatment. I'm asian so I tend to breakout easily. I've had this discoloration for I think a little less than half a year now. I currently use Extra Strength Proactiv and the discoloration is still there. I dont get much pimples and the spot between my eyebrows doesnt look too bad but obviously I'm aiming for full clear skin (who isn't?) Also cant forget the red cheeks. I'm not sure if they're scarred or not. They seem to be healing but in the first place I got them for scrubbing pimples with apricot scrub. I think they too got more red from the tea tree oil although I'm not sure. Is there something that can treat discoloration, what appears to be scarring (like i said, not sure what it is) and breakouts?

Ack.. I'm asian and I've always had clear skin until acne broke out this summer. It's not fun. I'd advise you not to scrub your face so often because it would irritate the skin and causing even more scarring. Try to cleanse your face as often as you can and pat it dry with a clean soft towel. Also, it's not healthy to be switching ointments back and forth. Use one brand and see there there are any results. If there are, use only that brand. If there aren't, discontinue. The best way to treat scarring is to leave it alone and keep the area clean. If you're like me, you wouldn't want to take any chance of the scarrings becoming permanent. The discoloration of your skin can mean your skin is on the verge of "erupting" with more breakouts or it can mean that your skin is allergic to something or it can mean something else. I'd advise you to ask your family doctor.

see your doctor, and see what he recommends, he will probably tell you to stop using tea tree oil i found out from a doctor when i went with a friend who was ill not to use it it some times is bad not good to use,try lots of soap and water
with astringent after washing to clean out pores,also drink lots of water good for the skin and eat lots of friut & veg dont eat
sugary sweet stuff bad for your skin, your skin is red from all the scrubbing and you are allergic to what ever else you are using on your face STOP

Redness from acne will fade with time, but it can take a while. Reduce acne outbreaks by using a treatment and avoid touching your face if you can.
