I've been dealing with some stubborn deep spots on my face left over from acne. I've heard about Episoft AC cream and was wondering if it'd be effective in getting rid of these marks? Or if there are any other solutions you could suggest, that'd be awesome. I'm really looking for something that can help clear my skin up a bit. What do you think?

I've been dealing with some pimples that, after a few days, turn into these dark spots on my face. It's really frustrating and I'm not sure how to get rid of them. Do you have any advice on what might work to clear up these spots?

To help fade block spots from pimples, try using gentle exfoliants with ingredients like salicylic acid or niacinamide. Consistently moisturizing and applying sunscreen daily will also prevent further darkening. If spots persist, consider consulting a dermatologist for targeted treatments.

I've been using a clindamycin gel and isotretinoin tablet for my acne and scars for about 12 days now, but my skin seems to be getting oilier and I'm not seeing much improvement. In fact, I feel like my acne is more noticeable. Do you think I should stop using them, or is this normal and I should give it more time?

Concerns about Clindamycin gel and Isotretinoin tablet. _Possible Reasons for Oily Skin and Lack of Improvement:_ 1. _Initial breakout_: Isotretinoin can cause an initial flare-up of acne. 2. _Hormonal adjustments_: Isotretinoin can affect hormone levels, leading to increased oil production. 3. _Clindamycin gel_: Can cause skin dryness, but in some cases, may increase oil production. _Recommended Next Steps:_ 1. _Consult your dermatologist_: Discuss your concerns and the lack of improvement. 2. _Do not stop medication abruptly_: Consult your dermatologist before stopping or adjusting treatment. 3. _Consider adjustments to treatment_: Your dermatologist may adjust the dosage or recommend additional treatments to control oil production and acne. _Maintain Good Skincare Habits:_ 1. _Use non-comedogenic products_: Avoid products that clog pores. 2. _Keep your skin clean_: Gently wash your face twice a day. 3. _Avoid picking or popping pimples_: This can lead to further inflammation and scarring.
