Brief Answer:
Retino A 0.025% cream

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Are you worried about the scars left by pimples or worried about active ones?

If it is scars we need to assess if they are shallow or deeper. A dermatologist can do it. Shallow scars will fade away themselves in 6 months, but if they are deep they need certain procedures like peeling or dermabrasion by skin specialist. they may take couple to 6 settings.

The scars are deep because the person constantly pokes at the pimples or touches them too often to irritate and cause inflammatory reaction. This results in deeper scars requiring such procedures. If there is no reason for inflammatory reaction then there is less chance of deep scars. So do not touch the pimple except while washing face( only twice a day is recommended with mild soap).

If you have active pimples then you should be patient and keep visiting a dermatologist for at least 6 months for both counseling and medication. The commonly recommended medication is Tretinoin for male is available as RETINO A 0.025%. Should be applied at night only and sun screen in the morning.

Please be patient and I know pimples are a social stigma and adds stress. But you have to realize that stress makes you poke it often leaving greater damage to the skin.

Hope this is convincing. If you do not have any other queries please close our discussion here.

Hi
Thanks for the solution. Regarding the question you asked, I am more concerned about the active pimples which occur very frequently. Will Clingard Gel be effective for me?

Brief Answer:
A drug can be effective

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

We will not be able to say if a drug is 100% solution for a person or not till the time we trial it. So you should see a doctor for the above drug. Of course this medicine is actively given for many who have pimples.

Hope this answers your query.
Note: Hope the answers resolves your concerns, however for further guidance of skin related queries consult our Dermatologist.Click here to book a consultation
