Question 1

sir,i have acne holes  in my face how to prevent that?

Accepted Answer

Acne: you need to treat your acne to prevent additional scars. Have your face evaluated by a board certified dermatologist.

Question 2

i have two acne holes in my face. can i use collagen/anti aging cream to help with the appearance? i'm 25.

Accepted Answer

You may: The so-called, "collagen/anti-aging" cream is an advertising term and will not do what implies. Use any make up that will mask the lesions.
For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, low fat milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. 
Practice safe sex. 
Get HPV vaccine.

Question 3

hello...i'm having acne, however i got rid of them a lot by olive oil....though i'm having acne holes left in my face help me get rid of them..thanks..

Accepted Answer

See a dermatologist: Olive oil is good on salads. It does nothing for acne.

Question 4

deep acne scare on face?

Accepted Answer

Options: A dermatologist can make the scars less apparent, though they cannot be made to vanish, using fillers, laser treatment, abrasion or surgery. Before you decide, look at the hollywood leading men who have chosen to keep their acne scars for character (jet li, steven seagal, charlie sheen, tommy lee jones.) it's your call (and you partner's if you have one.) good luck.

Question 5

any solution for acne?(face)

Accepted Answer

Meds: Many patients do well with over the counter benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid preparations. Some patients require topical or oral antibiotics or retinoids as well. If the over the counter meds alone don't control your acne after a month of daily use, see a doctor for additional treatment options. It is important to be persistent, and some patients 'get worse before they get better'.

Question 6

why do people get face acne?

Accepted Answer

Complex: It is an interplay between a particular bacterium, the sebaceous glands whose size, shape and function vary with hormonal and other factors, and the thickness of the keratin layer on the outside of the skin which also varies. I begin people with topical Clindamycin with or without a retinoic acid derivative. This is the 21st century and you have a right to effective treatment.

Question 7

uneven bumpy face due to acne?

Accepted Answer

Acne scars: There's nothing you can do about this on your own. If you want, a dermatologist can treat you with dermabrasion, fillers, microsurgery and/or a laser. I'm sorry you weren't treated when you should have been. Before you make your decision about seeking care, notice that hollywood "tough guys" from tommy lee jones to jet li seem to have deliberately kept theirs for "character." it's your choice.

Question 8

what is the best for face acne?

Accepted Answer

Benzoyl peroxide: Use as tolerated. Alternatives are retinoic acid derivatives and salicylic acid. If you are not clear in two weeks, get with your personal physician.

Question 9

how do i remove acne on my head?

Accepted Answer

Multiple treatments: Try over the counter topical treatments such as benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid.  If this fails you will need a doctor to prescribe a topical prescription strength treatment such as clindamycin, retin a, (tretinoin) etc with or without an oral antibiotic.

Question 10

how can i protect my face from acne?

Accepted Answer

Scientific Rx: If it is solely on your face and outbreaks are intermittent, a salicylic acid wash or topical benzoyl peroxide as tolerated will usually keep you clear. These are not pleasant, but will usually be sufficient until your acne remits on its own.
