Moderate Acne Vulgaris
(Newest replies first)

Updated

I have moderate acne vulgaris. My dermatologist recommended me to use cindamicin phosphate at 7.00 am, metronidazole gel USP at 3:00pm and the mixture of tretin A and benzoyl peroxide at night. How long will it take to see an improvement? Are those combinations safe to use? It's been almost 2 months and I don't see any big difference.

Pimples are somewhat gone, but there are many scars left on my face and it's very depressing. What kind of gel/cream should I use to get rid of those scars?

My dermatologist suggested me to apply malalong cream at night to fade scars. But it makes my face oily and not very effective in fading scars. What other good creams/gel available for fading scars?

These medications may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, non-allergic skin rash, and diarrhea.

However, they will not do anything to help the scars that you already have.

Have you tried asking your dermatologist what you can use that may help minimize them?
