Suggest Treatment For Itchy Pimple Scars After Acne Facial Treatment
hello, my name is chloe and i just turned 30 this yr. i never used to have problems with pimples ever since up until 5 months ago. i don't know how it happened but as far as i can remember, i started breaking out after i stopped taking dianne 35. so i went to see a dermatologist last march,to get it checked but she made it worse by giving me an acne facial treatment where she had to induce my pimples with bacteria fighting solution that at first made my pimples go away but left holes on my face instead. will the holes go away in due time? last may it started spreading on the same area where it was before and scared as i am to make it worst i bought a facial cleanser massager and used it twice daily. i think since my face is so sensitive, it got so irritated that caused my whiteheads and blackheads ( allergy or rash ) i cant really tell what it is since its itchy every now and then and im not helping by applying all sorts of stuff on my face. im terrified to go see another dermatologist after my last visit so now im lost and i dont know what to do??? please help me. any advice?

Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have itchy pimple scars after acne facial treatment which occur when there is hormonal changes, stress and clogged pores of sebaceous gland filled with sebum ,dead skin and bacteria get infected. You are already taking so much medicine but not get benefited. I would suggest you to make use of product containing benzoyl peroxide. Drink plenty of water daily and add fresh fruits and vegetables to your diet. Take Multivitamin supplements. Apply Adapelene gel once at night. Also wash your face with mild soap and cold water twice a day , exfoliate your face once a week , apply aloe vera gel and apply azelaic acid containing cream twice a day. If condition doesn't start getting better in a month then consult dermatologist. Doctor may prescribe antibiotics course and can also go for chemical peel containing Glycolic acid.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
