Question 1

my doctor has prescribed me salicylic acid gel cleanser and differin (adapalene) for my acne marks, do you think it's effective for acne marks?

Accepted Answer

Depends: This depends on the severity of the scars/marks. It is a good regimen for preventing new acne scars, but ones that are already present pose a different problem. If you have deep pits and scars from previous cystic lesions, even the salicylic acid may not be enough to remove these. You may want to work with a dermatologist or even a plastic surgeon if you have significant scarring.

Question 2

i have oily skin. can i use any skin ointment to reduce my acne marks? or can i use adapalene 0.1% gel + (betamethasone+gentamicin) cream? today, it's 2nd day i used mixure of above mentioned gel and cream and then apply on my face. is it safe?

Accepted Answer

: I would stop what you’re doing and talk with a clinician first. Pursue a Telemedicine visit on HealthTap if you have no primary care physician. Betamethasone should not be used on the face without clear indication. Acne treatment takes weeks before clear effects, it’s best that you start on the right path early, rather than messing around for weeks on your own.

Question 10

Accepted Answer

Variable: Cheapest is probably an over-the-counter cleanser or topical that contains benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid or zinc.  The prescription products are usually more effective because they are stronger and have more of the active ingredient, as well as contain antibiotics.  Differin and retin a (tretinoin) are prescriptions.  There is no "best" because everyone's skin reacts differently to different products.
