How To Clear Acne Scars Faster And Prevent From Future Outbreak?
Hello, I recently got an out break of acne after I stopped using my pills. Now I get a few here and there. I have scars left on my face and I'm trying to find a way to clear them as well as stop any future outbreaks. I have used bio oil, enat cream, gagnier and I have seen small results. How can I get quicker results??

Hi,
I can understand your concern for the pimples and scars in yourself. Acne or pimples are youth related problem and is not a disease per say. I can understand your concern of acne or pimples. You have not mentioned your age, sex and marital status.
You can apply a cream contains Clindamycin gel 1% and adapalene for topical application form for pimples. For clindamycin there is no harm in using it but adapalene can cause irritation if not used under dermatological supervision. It contains topical antibiotic gel and oral antibiotic and do not cause any side effects.
For scars and marks the most important part in treatment is by lightening agents such as Kojic acid or azelaic acid cream application which you can use under dermatological guidance. Hydroquinone can also be used but in my series of patients I prefer using Kojic acid or azelaic acid cream. Take a proper guidance and follow up with a good dermatologist so that all the problem of acne can be dealt best for future time.
Take care
