Question 1

i have a mark of acne and it will become redness, what's best medicine to redness?/

Accepted Answer

None: Nothing is quick.  In most cases, good skin comes from consistently taking good care of your skin and body (good nutrition). To reduce the reddness don't pick, rub or scratch the pimples; also if the pimple is open avoid putting anything on it that could irritate it further.  In a few days, it won't be nearly as red.
