StandingAlone 1 Posted October 1, 2004 hey, i am curenty on doxyciclyn and have been for about 3 weeks, its starting to rid me of active acne pimples but the red dots are still there. my acne is mostly on my lower cheaks but i have dots where old ones were pretty much everywhere. I am despreat. I need to get rid of these "after marks" i've tried using bp but it just makes it red and dry. are there any web sites that sell things that could help me? the first step for me is to rid myself of acne, that is close to being done, now all i have is spots. Acne has taken so much out of me. i just dream to be clear. i just feel like i'm going in circles. someone please help. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oldguy 0 Posted October 1, 2004 From the FAQ: Q: How can I get rid of my red marks / hyperpigmentation / brown marks / dark marks? A: There are several different approaches to help this process. You may have to experiment to find which works best for you. The effectiveness of these treatments varies and they may have to be used in conjunction with other treatments for best results: Prescription approach: * Generally recommended: A Retinoid (i.e. Retin-A) & Hydroquinone* Non-prescription approaches: · The tape method of exfoliation · The vinegar method of exfoliation . Apply an Alpha Hydroxy Acid peel (i.e. Lactic Acid, Glycolic Acid, TCA, etc.) · Apply a Beta-Hydroxy Acid solution · Vita-K for Blotchy Skin . Mandelic Acid Serum Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LoveGreenSmoothies 32 Posted October 1, 2004 Sometimes they do. The only thing that is guaranteed to work is the passage of time.(Sorry) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
frances 1 Posted October 1, 2004 yes, which is why they are in the FAQ. As it says... "You may have to experiment to find which works best for you. The effectiveness of these treatments varies and they may have to be used in conjunction with other treatments for best results." But marks still take a long time to fade...products or no products.
