Hi all,

Just wondered what this was? Acne scars, Acne marks or PIH? Currently taking Epiduo and oxytreacycline. Skin usually feels quite bare.

Many Thanksface.thumb.jpg.e2f4f7de15fe38601af76cf59

Looks like PIH and red marks, mainly. Thankfully these aren't permanent, and usually fade with time.

Thank you for the reply, what do you recommend, continuing my treatment? Consult a doctor? Stop the epiduo?
Again Thank you!

I would continue your treatment outlined by your doctor, but maybe ask them about building in 10% glycolic acid (AHA) into your skin regimen, see if they think it would be OK with what you're currently using. This can really help fade those red marks and PIH faster! :) Dan's AHA is great and is helping my son's skin...his looks pretty similar to yours...just got over a bout of cystic acne. The marks on his forehead are fading fast (cheek PIH tends to take longer)! But even if you do nothing, they usually fade on their own.

Thank you! I will do, I am considering starting light treatment with lumie clear, is this a good idea?

Sorry, don't know the answer, I'm not familiar with this product. But glad I could help otherwise! 🙂
