Hey guys i hardly have acne. I have had it bad awhile ago and i do dans regimen right now. I get a zit here and there but i noticed, what makes me look like i ahve acne is the small red dots.

Can anybody inform me of what to do and how to get rid of them fast.

My goal is to be cleared up 100 percent before college in fall 05 freshman year

i recently had a cyst coming so i tried a hot compress. the problem is i think i burned myself. i hadnt picked or tried to pop the cyst so i dont think this is a red mark from that. its like really red and worse thing i have ever had. i have just been puttin aloe on it. has anyone had this happen? is it a burn?

i got a peel yesterday and today i put some moisterizer on after i got out of the shower..is that ok or will my face not peel now? =(

I think I did, because well, I was getting clear (clear for 3 months. wanna know how? go read my sig and click on the link), and no acne except red marks, but then I ate pizza three days in a row totalling to like 15 pizzas. Guess what, a few zits popped up! F\/CK! Now, what I did is I did a spot treatment using Glycolic Acid 2% and put a drop like once every 3 hours. Now, acne is *kinda* gone, but the surrounding areas where the glycolic acid kinda touched, and even the spot, is dark now! it's like I had a 10mm pimple because it's RED! Will it go back to normal skin color? I mean, the surrounding parts that didn't have pimple. I expect the pimple to become a red mark, but what about the surrounding areas? Is it just like an irritation thing that would go off soon, or is it like permanent? HELP ME! HELP ME! HELP...MEE!!!

I think I've read every thread on this, but I just ordered some and I was just curious if anyone else has tried it.

I have started using uniodized, all natural, mediterranean sea salt mixed with warm water on my face and in just a week I've noticed my red marks fading way fast, and my active acne healing quicker too.

i just ordered orangedaily daily cleanser, vitamin c serum, & their whitening cream (w/lactic acid, licorice extract, & vitamin c) i really hope this new regimen hopes combat my terrible, ugly red marks...they have a website too..

ok if youve tried your household methods.. the b soda, etc. what else can you do? can anyone either list some methods or some operations that can be done to the face? what is this dembrassion thingy? yaaaaaa thnx

Just out of curiousity because i seem to do just that...

I know there are alot of discussions on this board and primarily on this sub section about red marks but I just wanted to vent.. I HATE THEM.. I have a sh** load of them on my face and it looks horrible.. I have been using BS and ACV and its getting somewhat better.. but I just want this to go away.. I have been avoiding BP.. just using TTO and washing my face with NUTRO Acne wash ... is there anything else I can do??? I don;t even try to pop my zits anymore.. I just leave them alone and they turn brown and just sit there with a little bump.. I can't do anything right.. no pop equals bad.. pop equals bad.. FUC*!!!!!!!!!!!

frank, i did a search on acne.org for "candida+hair+loss" and one of your past posts came up: http://www.acne.org/messageboard/forums.html...wtopic=5955. I am suffering from candida as a result of long-term anti-biotics usage (17 months straight and on and off before that). I have also in the last 5 months experienced much thinning of my hair. It has become very limp and weak. Did you have candida and did you lose hair while the candida persisted? Please, a reply is VERY much appreciated.

Does anyone know if there are any non-prescription products out there that contain hydroquinone for fading marks? I know that 4% is the prescription strength, but do any products out there have less than that?

Thanks for your help!

When I was in high school i never drank or smoked, and only appeared to have bad acne on my back (I think that it was sports induced acne). When I entered college and began drinking alcohol I began to notice that some acne began to appear on my face, however I did not do anything about it, because it was only a spot here and there from time to time. This past year however both my cheeks are covered with clusters of acne, I take it because I have been going out more since I turned 21 and also from stress of graduation and possibly even hormones....but all in all I truly believe that the main culprit is the drinking. Is there anyone else out there who this has recently happened to? Let me know.....

Neutrogena Healthy Skin Lotion w/ Alpha Hydroxy Acid-

I read somewhere that it may help with red marks left after acne. I might try this or Porcelana out since they are pretty cheap and I've heard good things from them both. Let me know if you have used this before and what your results were.

I just wanted to summarise everything that is in this forum into a nice and tidy general post. Thanks.

My redmarks are not so much red marks, as entire red areas. I just got off Accutane a few weeks ago, and while the complet redness has subsided, I still have large, splotchy red areas, wherever I had a pimple when i started Accutnae. These red areas are at the corners of my mouth, on the nose, and a little bit around the nose. I'm pretty sure it's not roseaca, either. Has anyone experienced this? Is it normal? Most of all: WILL IT FADE?

Hey guys,

Well here's the latest- I finished roaccutane a week ago on monday and my lips are much less dry and so is my skin. However, I still have some red marks on my cheeks and jaw line. So, what to do! Well I ordered some Estee Lauder White light Ex from Strawberrynet.com, I got the face wash and the night cream..........and I have to say that it seems to be seems to be working. It has licorice in it, which is a skin whitener, melanese which is also a skin whitener and citrus extracts which exfoliate the skin.

I also got some 15% glycolic acid night cream which is also helping loads, however I only use this every other night cause I don't want to stress my skin out too much!

Anyways I hope this helps you guys....let me know if you have any questions!

so im going on the 7th to get vbeam done for stretch marks, but i figured i might as well try it on my face for redmarks, cos other than the PIH, im pretty damn clear.

the problem is im going to an important event on the night of the 7th, and theres gonna be this girl there who always takes pictures everytime she goes out with friends. so i was wondering if the vbeam would leave me ultra red, and for how long if it does? any replies as soon as possible, would be one less thing for me to worry about, thanks

Hey guys just a quick question. I had some small red bumps under the right eye (cheek area) and I was wondering ... when they dissapeared they left a red spot that kind of looks like acne but its smooth as my skin? Any treatments for this or whats wrong??? Thanks .

acv, and the green tea toner isnt cutting it..

do u guys think its a good thing to use SPF in the winter and fall when ur useing a hydroquinone...because the sun is out..but its not hot??

Just wondering if it's safe to use any of the red mark treatments while on the regimen. Anyone know or tried?

Well I am 22 years old and I have had the same red marks on my right cheek for the past 4 and a half years. I have been using retin-a micro since I was about 16 and clindamycin phosphate during the day. My acne has been under control for the past 5 years but these red marks just love being on my face. I am ready to put the hammer down now and do whatever I have to do to clear these marks. I think they would of cleared if I was using sunscreen daily. They say it should take from 6 - 12 months and sometimes 18 months to clear. Well 4 and a half years is 54 months so I think they should of healed on their own by now. I think the most important thing to do is wear sunscreen daily. Find a sunscreen that won't break you out. Usually the spf15's are good cause they aren't as heavy. I am just posting this to suggest this to anybody else here struggling with the same problem. I am going to try it starting today. If I have to wait 18 more months then so be it. If in fact I do see some changes I will be the first to post and let you know because if I can clear these red marks then so can the rest of you and I want to share this with all of you. Let's help eachother out and beat this.

Jus wondered if this stuff breaks you out or not. I'm going on the basis of a diluted soltion such as a 1:5 (acv:water) solution.

how come when I pop a white head, I get a ring of dark red around the white head area. Does this mean it's not ready to be poped, my skin is just sensative, or am I doing something wrong? Also, anyone know of anything that will make this red mark go down quickly (not makeup)?

Is using Baking soda every night too exfoliating on the skin. I kno delna does it every night and it has worked well for her but for those with active acne, would it break them out because of the irritation? I've used it 3 nights in a row and ill keep posting to say if i break out later.

i went to the skin care clinic and they suggested obagi product to use for my red marks, (i also have a few active pimples). i was wondering if anyone has tried that product because i dont want to waste money if it's not going to work.

hey guys..

the baking soda regime isnt working for me one bit. i am using baking soda not powder so thats one thing straight, but other than that i dont know whats the problem.

i dont use vinegar after applying the mix, maybe i should? would it even make that much of a difference?

i really really hate red marks.. youd think they would go away.. but mine arent... girls dont like me anymore : (
