Question 1

i always get huge pimples right under my bottom in the crease and now i have lots of scar tissue, how to i prevent this from happening ?

Accepted Answer

Pimples: Keep the area dry and clean, avoid very tight fitting pants or underwear. Try applying rubbing alcohol to these regions daily to eradicate staph bacteria which cause these outbreaks. If severe pustules or boils keep developing, a course of potent antistaphyllococcal antibiotics may be needed. Discuss this with your physician or dermatologist.

Question 2

i have a scarring on my face from road rash. why am i getting pimples only on the scar tissue?

Accepted Answer

It's normal: For probably unclear reasons, that injured skin is more susceptible to developing pimples. Be sure that the products you use to cleanse and moisturize are non-comedogenic. If they don't say they are, assume they aren't and that they will clog your pores and create problems.

Question 3

i had a mole removed in september. tests came back all clear. i have since developed two bloody pimples at different times on the scar tissue. should i be concerned?

Accepted Answer

Skin infection: The most likely cause of the bloody pimples is a localized skin infection - if the moles had negative pathology (benign conditions) then there is no reason to be more concerned.

Question 4

what can i do to treat pimple scars?

Accepted Answer

Healing scars: When our bodies sustain an injury, the immediate response is inflammation (red, hot, tender swelling). This is the body increasing the blood flow and bringing healing factors to the area and also the veins expand to carry bad stuff away. As healing occurs, new tissues fill in that are different than normal and less elastic.  This is a scar.  Over time it will fade in color but always be there.

Question 5

do pimple scars go away on their own?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Over a period of months to years they will become less conspicuous, especially on the face. Future appearance depends on how deep they are & how dark.

Question 6

what is a good way to cure pimple scars?

Accepted Answer

Prevent: The best thing to do is treat any ongoing acne to prevent further scarring. Treatment for existing scar is varied and depends on what the scars look like. Options are dermabraision, laser peels, fillers, sometimes exscision of deep "ice pick" scars. Consult a plastic surgeon for advice.

Question 7

if i pop my pimple, will it scar forever?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Popping a pimple may cause a scar.  Whether it is lifelong or for a few years is unknown.  When you pop a pimple, you are disrupting the natural skin architecture.  The cause of the pimple is a clogged oil gland in the skin but you destroy that entire area of the skin by popping.

Question 8

what medicines should i prefer to cure my pimple n scars..?

Accepted Answer

PIMPLES &amp; SCARRING: I DOUBT IF YOU CAN DO IT YOURSELF.
SEE YOU PCP OR DERMATOLOGIST.
ONLY THESE DOCTORS CAN HELP YOU.

Question 9

will popping pimples leave black blemish scar?

Accepted Answer

Not the key: Whether or not you pop them, you're likely to have hyperpigmentation and maybe depressed scars; the latter can be permanent. You owe it to yourself to get serious about managing your acne. If topical benzoyl peroxide as tolerated up to 10% 2x/day hasn't cleared you in two weeks, your physician can add something that will. Best wishes.

Question 10

how would doctors recommend i treat pimple scars?

Accepted Answer

Acne scars: A variety of modalities are available such as dermabrasion, excision or subcision, laser or radiofrequency resurfacing, injectable fillers, fat and/or stem cell treatments.
