Answers:
there isn't a whole lot you can do to make the scars go away. your skin cells turn over about every 28 days, so it just takes time. the best thing you can do is take care of your skin as a whole: moisturize and stay out of the sun. tanning may help acne for some people, but it will also cause your scars to be more obvious. you can also try vitamin e. if you get oil capsule of vitamin e at the drugs store, poke a hole in the capsule and just put a dab of oil on the scars. also, make sure you have plenty of vitamin c in your diet. your body needs vitamin c to make collagen which makes your skin heal. citrus fruits are a great source of vitamin c. most important, though, its to try to prevent it in the first place. over the counter face washes like clearasil and neutrogena have been proven to work just was well as most prescription medications for some forms of simple acne. make sure you're using a product with salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide in it. avoid wearing lots of make up and do your best not to pick when you do get a zit. the more you press and pick, the longer they will take to heal.

from experience i know that going after the scars or marks that you have is not the right answer go to the doctor or dermatologist I know this sounds like an answer from someone who doesnt know much about acne but i have tried everything. So just go to your doctor and he will give you up to 3 different options pending on the severity of your acne. First if it is mild acne you will probably just be prescribed a cream or gel. Second if its moderate you will be prescribed antibiotic and a gel or cream. thirdly if its sever you will be prescribed accutane and also if you have moderate acne that doesnt respond to the antibiotics and topical gel or cream you will then be put on accutane. Going to the doctor will guarantee you acne free within a year and if you go strait to accutane you will no acne in 4 to 5 months and you wont have to worry about marks or what your thinking is scars but there probably just dark pigmented marks that will go away in 4 to 6 months and fade inbetween.Health Question & Answer


Vitamin E prevents acne or pimple scarring and can also be used to fade old scars. Use cucumber or other fruit and vegetable packs to cure pimple scars. More such solutions at http://solutionsforpimples.blogspot.com/
