Question 1

can you please describe the best ways for getting rid of pimples quick?

Accepted Answer

Scientific Rx: If two weeks on over-the-counter benzoyl peroxide doesn't clear you, get with your physician. You may be a rx for a topical retinoic acid derivative, the oral contraceptive pill (if you're female), topical clindamycin, a systemic antibiotic such as tetracycline, or a dermatology referral for possible isotretinoin. All acne is manageable today; it's not a hygiene or lifestyle problem. We can help.

Question 4

how can i get rid of pimple marks?

Accepted Answer

Serious Rx: Please forgive my frankness. The red marks that follow pimples are new vessels healing you skin and you need to leave them alone. The brown marks are hyperpigmentation and if you try to bleach them with a hydroquinone solution, it can end up a mess. A dermatologist or plastic surgeon is required to treat depressed scars.

Question 7

is there any tips to get rid of pimple permanently?

Accepted Answer

Basics: The majority have it in their teens with resolution by their early 20's.However, a subset can have it off and on well into their 30's and beyond.Eventually it disappears, but is one of the hardest skin problems to predict. Designing a good skin care routine with the aid of a dermatologist can help. An exam of your skin &amp; review of your history is required before any suggestions would be prudent.

Hard to say: Any 'pimple" that lasts 4 months is likely not a pimple. Treatment likely requires an exam to focus therapy.

Question 9

what are some home remedies to get rid of pimple marks and pimples?

Accepted Answer

They don't work: I'm sorry. The stuff you read on the internet -- honey, lemon, pepper -- are cruel practical jokes directed against people who are already in a bad situation. Acne can be managed -- topical benzoyl peroxide or retinoic acid for starters, and your physician's prescription remedies if they arenot sufficient. Don't do this to yourself. Get seen and we can help.
