im a 19 yr old male and i've had acne on and off for several years now. the acne isnt too bad but whenever i get even the slightest bump on my face it leaves a red mark that lasts weeks and even months depending on how bad the spot was. recently it started to clear up but over the past month its gotten progressively worse. the last week or so i've woken up with a new bump on my face everyday that leaves a huge red bump. i'm not sure whats going on. i went to the dermatologist and he prescribed me Retin-A cream and Clindamycin phosphate lotion which ive been using for a little over a month. but to be honest i don't think they're helping. they might even be making it worse. Can someone please tell me what i can do the stop the red bumps and what i can do to make these scars go away?
you are lucky they don't turn black or into real scar. If I was you I will look to find a way to get rid of these pimples instead. You should have no problem of scaring when you are done with the acne. I had pimples like theses until 24 years old and FINALLY used accutan and it was a miracle.
