A member asked:

What can be used for acne scaring while on oratane? i am currently on my 3rd month using 40mg

Dr. Bernard Seif answered

Specializes in Clinical Psychology

Acne scarring: Please ask your doctor about using liquid vitamin E on your skin as a topical. Do not use it on open wounds. It’s inexpensive and available at the drug store in a little bottle. Peace and good health.
