Is It Safe To Apply Lemon On Face To Remove Scars?

Hello
I used to apply lemon juice on my face for acne and it did great job but after a while I stopped and acne came back very severe, so I took accutane the acne are gone but the scars are still there
Can I use lemon safely to get rid of them ? And does stopping putting lemon on my face after scars are gone backfire ?( meaning that the scars come back )

Thank You

Hi dear ,

It is totaly safe to use lemon on your scars as it contain vitamin C , which help the skin in quick recovery . Along with lemon you can do other remedies also like ;-

Exfoliate your skin 2-3 times a week , it will remove the dead skin .

Apply kojivit cream twice a day , it is very effective and safe .

Apply vitamin E oil at night .

Apply broad spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 while going outside under sun exposure .

If condition doesn't improve in a month then consult dermatologist for proper treatment like chemical peeling.

Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
