How can you get rid of pimple scars?

Answer 1

Use an antibacterial wash which is available from your pharmacy to clear up the current pimples and if you already picked at them, clean the area and put Polysporin on it, it helps prevent infection and can help with scarring. As for the scars that are there you can get bio oil, it improves the look of your skin all around, its unscented and also helps with stretch marks. you don'tnecessarily need expensive procedures or any sort of laser treatment to improve that, bio oil is inexpensive and you can get it anywhere and it feels great you just have to be persistent and use as directed.

Answer 2

I suffered from this condition for a while and can sympathise.

Retin-A (Tretinoin) is a highly effective topical cream used in the treatment of acne. Incidentally, the major constituent (Retinol) of Retin-A is now widely used in cosmetic treatment of UV sun damage to the skin and widely found in smaller concentrations in cosmetic products .

However, it can cause redness and peeling of the skin initially and it increases the skin's sensitivity to the sun therefore a sun block should be used in areas where the skin might be exposed.

I don't really know about scars, but if you want soft smooth spot-free skin you will have to fight for it 2 times a day firstlly, wash face with a scrub or clenser, secondlly tone you face so that it gets rid of the left over dirt ect, then finally moistourise even though you think it will cause more spots, BUT it don't!, Just makes your skin look healthy and smooth. drinking water and eating fruit will help :), do it for about a month and you will look great :D, but arfter a month don't give in you must always do it. but if you want just do it once a day but i would recommend doing it 2 times , x

Pimples any place on your body can be treated the same as those on your face. There are over the counter medications and treatments for acne that will work. You can also use an application of moist heat to increase the circulation and help the area heal fastest. It can be done as easily as putting warm water on a washcloth and keep warm on the site for 20 minutes and try this several times a day. You can follow the hot pack with triple antibiotic ointment like Neosporin. If the condition worsens or persists, it might be good to get an examination by a Dermatologist. It is never wise to open or "pop" pimples, this just allows the introduction of new germs to the same place that is already inflamed or infected. Also if you open the pimple, if there is drainage or exudate, that can be transferred to other people or other open places on your skin and create a new location of infection. Wash hands before and after touching the area. The skin is the body's first line of defense, so keep it intact so it can do its job to keep your body safe from other bacteria.

Answer 5

There are a lot of ointments for pimples. Some may not work, because everyone has different skin types. I went to a dermatologist and that didn't help. Now I use 'Ointment of the Bell' and that's clearing my face.

Answer 6

Pimple or acne marks as opposed to actual scars can be lightened.

There are a number of skin lightening or brightening ingredients readily available on the market. Acne marks are generally on the top layer of your skin. They can be visibly reduced with a product that helps to remove that top layer. Naturally this takes time, especially with over the counter products-at least 6-8 weeks if you use it diligently.

Chemical peels are also an option for those that can afford it. Just make sure you find a good, reputable dermatologist.

Acne scars on the other hand are harder to eliminate with over the counter products. You can certainly "soften" the look by using a good skin regenerating serum. Something with peptides that can penetrate layers of skin, but this is also a longer process. Laser treatments are probably the fastest way to go. A good dermatologist can help with that as well.

Answer 7

There are products in drugstores that claim to remove scars. Laser treatments will remove layers of skin cells and may remove acne scars.

Answer 8

I had a butt boil once and my mom popped it. Don't do what she did, okay? Anyway, you take care of it like your pimples on your face. You should ask a doctor too.
