Hi everyone.

I apologize for making a post you probably see all the time.

I am a little overwhelmed by all the posts and terms in this "Scar treatments" forum. Can anyone point out some threads/posts/sites where I can find information about possible treatments for red marks that I have on my face that won't go away?

Some of them I'm sure were caused by acne, but I have two big red marks on either side of my nose that have been there as long as I can remember and I am not sure why.

Thanks!

there's not much you can do with redmarks. what you can do is apply some acne medication (benzoyle perioxide, differin, etc) on it so that it becomes really dry and turns brown in color after long use. then the skin will exfoliate itself and peel. or, once it turns brown, you can get bleaching cream from a dermatologist. there's not much you can do.

v-beam for red marks. they say 50% improvement after one treatment. expensive as all hell though.

do you know how much it is typically?

So something like mandelic acid wouldn't help at all?

Or what about hydroquinone?

I'm so confused...
