I'm dealing with a lot of acne after getting my face threaded, and my doctor put me on Minoz OD and Avene Triacneal cream for 10 days. The thing is, my acne's actually getting worse, and the scars look more noticeable. I thought the cream would make it peel, but it's just drying it out, and I'm not seeing any peeling even after 10 days. I'm wondering how long I'm supposed to keep using this stuff before I see any results? Why am I ending up with new pimples every day? Could it be the treatment or just a coincidence? Ive never had this many pimples on my face before. What should I do? Any insights on how long it usually takes for acne to fade with these treatments?
