Suggest Treatment For Scars Of Pimples On Face

Hello i have popped many zits and they have scarred. just my forehead everywhere else on my face and body is fine. i use to do too much when i had one pimple i would cover my WHOLE forehead in toothpaste overnight, and used distilled white vinegar instead of apple cider vinegar and it burnt my skin. it healed since then but i was not sure if that would affect this issue, also whenever one pops it makes a dark hole. and my skin is very rigid.

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns....

As per your complain it seems that you have post inflammatory hyperpigmentation of face and you need a depigmenting treatment along with improved nutrition..
You can start washing your face with salicylic acid and glycolic acid containing facewash, apply gels containing benzoyl peroxide over the face,,
You can apply creams containing Kojic acid, glycolic acid and arbutin over the face..
Exfoliate your skin twice a week using a gentle scrub..
Take Vitamin C and Vitamin E supplements...
Apply Vitamin E oil at night..
Limit sun exposure and always apply sunscreen lotion when exposed to sun..
Drink plenty of water and avoid oily food..
You can also go for microdermabrasion, glycolic acid peels and photofacial..


Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
