So I am taking erithremycin antibiotics pads and the acne seems to be going down but I have a pesky dark dots, maybe slightly indented, and have read and other scarred areas. What to do? Will it heal? If so could you GUESS as to how long.

indented stuff are scars!

PIH will take time but will heal!

@aanabill would you say that most is not indented or scarred, and that the redness will go away? And the indented ones, will go back to normal skin color no?

Take a few month for most redness to go away?

if its indented then it's scar.and scars unless very shallow dont just become normal surface skin.

PIH that is post inflammatory hyperpigmentation will fade with time.

u can fasten the process by using bha or aha.

are u getting these red marks because of the pads or they are just normal acne marks?

why use pads btw?

@aanabill

The pads contain the antibiotic in a controlled dosage. I think they are less intense then antibiotics in the oral form, and I don't think this antibiotic comes in an oral form anyways. They rest in alcohol, so that may be the causing of the redness? I think the redness got worse when I started using these so it will probably die down when I stop using them, no?

The indented scars while not looking like normal skin, should get the same color or close? I know naturally they will not raise and flatten out obviously.

if its erythromycin u r talking about,u get it in oral form.

i am not sure what is causing the redness whatever it is,its not doing anything good for ur skin.its clearly irritating ur skin.

depends on how deep or shallow the scar is.

if they are indented enough,u will need medical help.

for rolling scars etc dermarolling helps.

it cant be said like that ,really.

i've no idea what indentation u r talking abt.so its just blind answers meant for general idea.
