Are acne scars permanent?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
That depends on the depth and type of the scars. With few types of peels and derma abrasions depth of the scars can be reduced.

Is there a cream or gel that's good for open pores? I've got quite a few open pores and I'm wondering what I can use to help with them.
There are several over-the-counter creams and gels that can help minimize the appearance of open pores. One option is the "Neutrogena Pore Refining Moisturizer," which contains retinol and beta hydroxy acid to help reduce the size of pores. Another option is the "La Roche-Posay Effaclar Pore-Refining Anti-Aging Serum," which contains glycolic acid and micro-exfoliating lipo-hydroxy acid to tighten pores. You can apply these products once or twice daily, following the instructions on the packaging for best results.

I've been dealing with scabies for half a year now and it's super frustrating. I tried some cream that starts with an L, but I had an allergic reaction to it. Then I used the Derbac lotion, like, four times, and it still hasn't worked. I even called my doctor and they said there's nothing else they can prescribe. Is there really nothing else I can do? My skin is a mess from all the scratching, and even anti-itch creams aren't helping. What should I do?
