Brief Answer: Face scars , will take time to heal completely Detailed Answer: Hi I understand your concern regarding your skin problem and I hope I am able to help you in the same. Your wife has developed pigmented scars over the face. First of all , I would like to tell you that the recommended treatment for your wife seems to be good and sufficient. You have been prescribed an aloe vera based hydrating and moisturising skin cream along with an antibiotic cream which is deriva. For the pigmentation, you have been prescribad a kojic acid based gel. Also the most important feature is the sunscreen which is very essential so as to prevent any further damage by the sun. Now what is important is that your wife should continue to use this treatment for atleast three weeks before we can anticipate any change. This is so because skin tends to take its own time for renewal. Also it is important that she takes a diet rich in fruits and salads. Take lots of citrus fruits. She can in addition take oral vitamin c tablets once a day. Proper and adequate use of sunscreen is very important. She should apply the sunscreen some thirty minutes before sun exposure and re apply it every three hours if out in the sun. In addition, she should also avoid any further trauma to face. Hope it helps Please ask if you need any further clarifications Dr Geetika Paul

Brief Answer: Acne scars take time to go Detailed Answer: Hi again Pigmented scars over the face take a long time to completely heal. But they do get better with time if proper treatment is done. As told earlier , it might take upto three weeks for a noticable difference . From the description that you have provided, I can sense that you probably have dark scars which are seemingly resistant to treatment. Also since you want early results , I would suggest you to see a local dermatologist so that certain procedures like chemical peel or dermabrasion can be done which tend to hasten up the lightening process. Also many skin medicines are specifically prescribed at night since they may react with light. So it is safer to advise their application at night. As far as other precautions are concerned, I have already told you regarding oral vitamin c supplements along with a diet change. Hope it helps Dr Geetika Paul
