I have tons of red spots on my cheeks after a breakout of adult acne. I finished roaccutane 7 months ago and they have hardly faded at all. I am really worried about them being permanent :-(

I have been avoiding the sun for ages now, and really want to go on holiday, but have read so many bad things about the sun and hyperpigmentation. Does anyone know if the sun would make my marks worse (I was planning on using sun screen factor 50)

I’m used Mario Badsecu Whitting Mask. I have tons of red spots from my adult acene. I used this mask three times in one week, and I saw a HUGE DIFFERENCE on my chin area. They faded by 80%. I stoppped using it and it’s been about a month and my chins’ red spots are still gone. I’m going to start using this mask twice a day, three times a week and see if I get any results. Good Luck. If I could have posted a picture, I would have girls.

I suffered from adult acne after coming off the pill about 6 months ago. After hardly ever having a pimple in my life, my forehead was completely covered in horrible red acne spots! After trying numerous products, I found the best to treat my pimples was Benzac 5% Gel – prescribed by my doctor. Great stuff! You can use the gel in combination with an antibiotic – just ask your doc, but it lessens the effectiveness of being on the pill… so you might have to resort to other contraceptive methods if you use the oral medication as well.
As my pimples healed, I was also left with horrible dark red spots all over my forehead, and, as I have an olive complextion – it’s quite noticible. What I found working for me so far, is applying lemon juice directly on the red areas several times a day.. you can also leave it on over night. Also, simply rubbing ice cubes onto the inflammed areas has also helped! it’s an old remedy, but it seems to be doing the trick. I’ve also been using a natural peeling gel but without exfoliating particles – because I found these to irritate my skin. You can find a natural peeling get at your local pharmacy. I’ve also read that the following is also good: whip together an egg white, 2 tablespoons of lemon juice and a few drops fof green tea, apply to entire face and set dry for 15 minutes. Remove with warm water or gentle cleanser, and repeat process twice a week. Hope this helps!

V beam laser is supposed to get out any kind of redness. Whether its from acne scars or something more serious. It’s supposed to get out at least 30% each time but could get out more so you shouldn’t have to do it too many times. I haven’t tried this yet but I want to. The only thing is, I don’t know if it’s one of those things where the darker the red the better it works or if it’s the opposite. Some other things that I hear work for red scars is chemical peels & resurfacers (in a series & specific ones), IPL/BBL laser, apple cider vinegar, tazorac rx cream, vit. e & possibly retin a. But have mostly heard the fading over time thing. Hydroquinone only works for brown spots.

CHECK THIS OUT BEFORE YOU USE SKIN LIGHTENERS!!!
from cosmeticsdatabase.com:
“On a quest for lighter skin? Take a cue from FDA’s recent warning, and avoid skin lighteners with hydroquinone. This skin bleaching chemical can cause a skin disease called ochronosis, with “disfiguring and irreversible” blue-black lesions that in the worst cases become permanent, intensively black bumps the size of caviar all over the skin.”

People I WAS suffering from adult acne, and tried numerous products. Although the product that SAVED me was Acne Stress Control Neutrogena! I stress out alot and this product worked against my post-stress acne. TRY IT OUT! I am so happy, I have been free from breakout since i bought it 6 months now :)

I have suffered from acne for 7 years. I have tried everything on the market from all over the world. And I have spent more than $100,000 on doctor’s visits, treatments, and tests. My suggestion is not to go to any doctors, especially dermatologists. They only cure the appearance not the cause. In my research, I have found that diet is the only way to get rid of acne forever. It is a life changing process but if you want to be healthy and have a great skin, it is important to consider your diet.
I reccomend staying away from ALL grains, which believe it or not cause inflamation in your cells, and therefore causing acne. Eat everything that’s green, including dandeloin leafs, broccoli, lettuce, parsley and so on. These powerful and rich in vitamins vegetables will enhance your body with new red cells, which regenerates your colagen and produces new baby skin. Stay away from sugar and fruits high in sugar such as melons, canteloupe, bananas, mangoes. Eat more papaya and grapefruit, which are rich in vital enzimes and are great in excreting toxins from your body.
Stay away from any bread, starches, and fried food.
For red marks I found that hydroquinone of 5% works very well in combination with retin-a cream. Start with .025 and work it up to .1%. It takes a couple of months but it works. For your interest,research more about strict diets that help fight acne.
It helped me after 7 years of bad luck. It takes a lot of discipline and dedication but if you love yourself you will find strenght to do it. It is all in your head and will.
Doctors only want your money and you coming back for prescriptions, so they can charge you extra for another useless visit.
You did appear on this earth with acne and trust me your body is trying to get rid of it as much as you want to. Hormones are controlled by proper diet. Birth control only messes up your natural production of estrogen and progesteron, makes you gain weight and producces cellulite because of it’s negative side effect to retain water in your body.
Don’t loose hope, your body can heal itself if you take proper care of it. A doctor is not always the right answer!
