I'm a guy on accutane, in 2nd month. My skin is not dry. I'm having less and less zits, and parts of my face have nothing but old marks. My back has red, indented scars.
I understand my skin is thin due to Accutane, additionally my scars are indented.
So I believe that would rule out exfoliation, salicyclic and glycolic acid, and AHA as ways of reducing redmarks and smoothening skin.
What products ARE available for me to use? Green Cream?
My skin seems tough, so would it take acidic treatments like lemon or vinegar?
Just need to know what won't hurt your skin while it's already thin...but actually works with redmarks

Thanks!

neosporin or aloe vera gel. i dont think you can use green cream yet.

how about tea tree oil?

i would say avoid tea tree oil as it's very strong indeed

i've been told about using a baking soda paste on red marks.... i'm going to give it a try.
