A member asked:

I have lots of red marks from previous acne. is there anything i can do to face these? it has made me so self conscious

Makeup: I'm really sorry your acne wasn't managed as it should have been, and I trust you're taking steps, perhaps with your physician's advice, to manage it now. The red marks are part of healing and will be gone in a few months. Keep working to control your acne until it remits on your own -- it's not related to lifestyle, diet, or hygiene and no one knows why some folks are affected and others remit.
