Acne scars are unlikely to go away on their own -- but, luckily, there are treatment options that actually work. What a dermatologist wants you to know:
You’ve battled breakouts – and you have the scars to prove it. Blemishes can be distressing enough, but the marks left behind can serve as a lasting reminder of the emotional trauma and confidence hit that acne can cause. Your dermatologist has seen it many times, completely understands, and probably has even been there herself. She is standing by, ready to help clear your skin, minimize scars, and restore your hope and confidence.
Regardless of your skin type, a true post-acne scar is characterized by an irregularity in the surface texture of the skin. Derms often call these ice pick scars, rolling scars or boxcar scars - all are indented and appear a bit like pock marks. If the skin is smooth with no textural change, it's probably not a scar – it’s just the pink or dark mark that acne has left behind, called post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation .
Combining benzoyl peroxide to adapalene can significantly reduce scars and blemishes, according to a recent study of 67 patients followed for 6 months, published in the. This combination of medicines is available as prescription gels, called Epiduo or Epiduo Forte. A milder version could be created at home using OTC adapalene applied with an OTC benzoyl peroxide cream.
