How to treat acne scarring | Dr. Mamina, dermatologist

[hjellie]

My acne scars usually take 1 week to heal if it's not that bad, but it takes 3 weeks/a month to heal if it's really bad

[fatimah]

What about acne scars on arms and back? My face heals pretty quickly especially since using vitamin E oil but it seems scars on the body take longer to heal…

I feel tretinoin would work better for acne pit rather than differin? What's your opinion??

[missscribble]

I can't use sunscreen - my skin reacts badly to it. When I do find a sunscreen that doesn't cause the burning reaction, it causes acne, including cystic acne. I'm so tired of not finding any answers. Many people that have a history of cystic acne and old acne scars have such damaged skin that reactions to products aren't that uncommon, so where is the advice for us?

Among all these options, which one is more effective according to you ?

Using a pizza emoji is kinda disrespectful lol people get bullied with names like that

[renusuryadevara]

How do you know if your scar are mild or sever

[teinetoa]

Why do you use the pizza emoji to discuss acne scars? often time the term “pizza” is associated with long years of torment by people using the words “pizza face” to describe people who suffered or continue to suffer from acne. Bad enough you’re a dermatologist claiming to want to help that specific population. It’s like a physical trainer using the pig emoji in videos describing ways to lose weight.

Can you use vitamin c and tretinoin together?
