I suffer from redness and tons of acne scarring, what to do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Scientific Rx: You need to focus on preventing new lesions. If topical benzoyl peroxide as tolerated has not cleared you in two weeks, get with your physician. Nothing you can do will touch the red of a healing acne lesion; it's new vessels necessary to restore the deep skin. Depressed scars can be addressed by a dermatologist or plastic surgeon with laser, microsurgery or filler.
