I've got quite a few holes on my face from acne. What are some effective creams or treatments to help remove them?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Acne scars can be treated with topical creams containing ingredients like retinoids, vitamin C, and hyaluronic acid. You can try using a cream like Mederma Advanced Scar Gel, applying it to the affected areas twice a day. Additionally, you can use a cream with hydroquinone, such as Ambi Skincare Fade Cream, to help lighten any dark spots left by acne. Remember to apply sunscreen during the day to protect your skin.

View allIs it common for ringworm to have a clear liquid coming out of it? What does it mean if it does? Should I be worried about this, or is it something that usually happens?
Ringworm typically presents as a red, scaly rash that may be itchy. Oozing clear liquid from a ringworm lesion can indicate a secondary bacterial infection. This is a cause for concern as it may require additional treatment to clear the infection. I recommend using an antifungal cream like Lotrimin Ultra twice a day on the affected area, along with an antibiotic cream like Neosporin to prevent bacterial infection. If the oozing persists or worsens, please consult a healthcare provider for further evaluation and treatment.

I've been using erythego gel for my Rosacea for about a year and a half without issues since it was prescribed by my doctor. But lately, I've developed contact dermatitis, and now every time I apply the gel, it seems to make things worse. Could the gel be causing my contact dermatitis?
Erythego gel contains erythromycin, which is an antibiotic commonly used to treat acne and rosacea. However, some individuals may develop an allergic reaction to erythromycin, leading to contact dermatitis. I recommend stopping the use of erythego gel and consulting with your doctor for an alternative treatment option for your rosacea.

I'm really worried because my toddler son accidentally scratched my face with his nails, and now there's a scar that's left a black mark. The new skin has already started to come in, but the mark is still there. Could you recommend an ointment or anything I can do to help it fade?
You can apply Mederma ointment on the scar to help reduce its appearance. Apply a thin layer of Mederma gel on the scar twice a day and gently massage it into the skin. Make sure to follow the instructions on the packaging for best results.
