Question 3

how can i  prevent scarring on sensitive skin?

Accepted Answer

Take care: An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure so try to stop scarring before it starts.  Protect your skin with gloves, long sleeves or protective creams like sunscreen.  Avoid harsh chemicals on the skin and use sensitive skin products.  If you do suffer an injury, keep it covered while healing and use a gentle topical antibiotic.  For bad injuries see your plastic surgeon preemptively!

Question 4

i am lost. i have bad acne and dry sensitive skin?

Accepted Answer

Not lost: Be tough. Your personal physician is your best friend. Acne is a serious personal and professional liability, and there's no cure, but it can be kept at bay though the treatments for the more severe forms aren't for sissies. No home remedy is more than an adjunct. This is the 21st century. Make that phone call now.

Scientific Rx: If you found benzoyl peroxide and retinoic acid derivatives, perhaps topical Clindamycin will get the job done, or oral tetracycline 500 2x/day might clear you. For a female, the oral contraceptive pill can sometimes work amazingly well if she can take it.

Question 6

Scientific Rx: If topical benzoyl peroxide as tolerated hasn't cleared you in two weeks, you're going to need prescription-strength medication from your personal physician.

Question 7

what facial care treatment is good for sensitive skin?

Accepted Answer

Keep it simple: Mild soaps and moisturizers are the key. There are a lot of brands out there to try but I have had success with brands like vanicream and cetaphil.  I do not work for those companies so please don't think I am pushing them. You should avoid fragrances and coloring as these things may irritate. Hypoallergenic is another term to look for on the label.  And expensive does not equal better!

Question 8

do acne oral medications cause dry and sensitive skin?

Accepted Answer

Isotretinoin does: Isotretinoin, better known as accutane, frequently causes dry, sensitive skin. It is important to moisturize your skin and wear sun protection while using this medication. Oral antibiotics may make you more sensitive to the sun but should not cause dryness.

Question 9

what can i do to treat moderate acne on sensitive skin?

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'.
