so i used to have what i considered pretty bad acne. but now that i'm in college and i see how it can really rip someone's skin apart, i know mine wasn't that bad. however, my skin is very light and sensitive, and the acne has left scars, AND when i get the occasional breakout, it's VERY red! my skin is blotchy and it looks like i still have skin problems, but there are hardly any pimples. is this an after-effect that will eventually go away? or is there something i can do about it. haha oh yeah i'm a girl. a few weeks shy of 18.
Answer
I would wash your face with glycerin soap, rinse with cool water and pat dry, I would use witch hazel as an astringent. Since you have light and sensitive skin I would use a small amount of moisturizer that is free and clear of dyes and perfumes. You do not state whether you are male or female. I would wait to see if the scars fade in time if not you discuss your options with a dermatologist at a later date and time. Hope this helps you.
