Hey everyone. I'm Steve, and i'm 17 years old. Got a little question here. Up until last summer i had pretty bad acne, i went to a dermatologist, and he prescribed me Accutane. Needless to say, it worked great. Not a one on me anymore, but heres my question:

There seems to be some redness in some areas where the acne was more serious. No pits or anything, just redness. However, when i first wake up in the morning and look in the mirror, you can barely see anything at all. It seems to show itself more during the day, rather then in the morning or at night. I dont know why, it just does. I was just wondering if this redness is going to fade on its own, or do i need some kind of special treatment. If it will fade on its own, is there anything I can do to help the process along or anything? (like diet or such i guess) The redness isnt extremely serious, like bloodshot red or anything...but its there. More of an annoyance then anything.

Thanks in the advance for the help

Hi, I have a similar problem , and the bros here advised me to use Retin A or Tretinion. I use 0.05% soln. It peels off the skin over multiple skin cycles and helps in fading the Red spots. I have been using it for around 3 weeks, and some spots have faded away. It takes atleast 8 weeks to show results , so Iam still waiting..
