does kojic soap can cure acne dark spots and tretinoin cream 0.05?

Question

Is renova (tretinoin) cream effective in treating pimples and dark spots on the face?

Answer 1

ACNE: Yes, it peel off gradually the blemishes and take care of your acne.

Answer 2

It may: Kojic acid is an agent that helps to decrease darkly pigmented areas. Retin a (tretinoin) along with the kojic acid can augment the effectiveness in reducing areas of hyper pigmentation. Remember to practice safe sun exposure by always wearing a good sunscreen to prevent further pigmentation.

Answer 3

Early pregnancy: No. These are not the usual signs of early pregnancy.

Answer 4

No: But if you are concerned, you owe it to yourself to check yourself with a home product. They're pretty good.

Answer 5

Yes: Yes, you can treat acne on your back with any of the over-the-counter benzoyl peroxide and/or salicylic acne wash. Be ware that some people are allergic to benzoyl peroxide, so if you experience any itchy rash, see your doctor.

Answer 6

That is ok: Acne is acne. Whatever works on the face will most likely work on the back. Face skin is thinner and as a rule more delicate.

Answer 7

A little all over: These are topical drying agents. The goal is to prevent new lesion to form, so we treat the whole face rather than just spot treat. Apply a pea-sized amount to the full face nightly. If the dryness is not tolerable, you can try short contact of 15 minutes nightly for a couple of weeks and then leave on overnight. We expect a worsening of acne flare at 1-2 weeks, then better after 1-2 months.

Answer 8

At night only: Apply it at night time but do not use it during the day. It makes your skin sensitive to sun(uv).

Answer 9

How to use retinoids: Retinoids like tretinoin, tazaratene and Adapalene are used for acne, also for wrinkles, stretchmarks and keratosis pilaris. They can be drying and irritating but there are ways of helping the skin adapt to their action. Start with dry skin. Wet/damp skin is more easily irritated. Apply pea-size amount to entire face avoiding eye area. Initially apply twice a week at night. Sunscreen every morning.

Answer 10

Yes, doxy helps: Doxycycline and Minocycline are antibiotics often used to treat acne in teen boys. They are not used as often in girls, because these antibiotics are not used during pregnancy, and teen girls may unexpectedly become pregnant. Antibiotic gels and creams are also used, and may contain Clindamycin or erthromycin antibiotic.

Answer 11

Usually.: Especially if you combine it with good topicals, like benzoyl peroxide or retin-a.

Answer 12

Not sure: I am not sure what "dark spots" you refer to. Some women may have darker spots especially on the areolae (areas around the nipples) that normally tend to be darker than the rest of the breasts. Those dark spots are just extra pigment collections and there is nothing to do about that. If you have dark spots that are bothersome, changing in shape or color, they ought to be checked by physician.
