My skin is so dried out. I've tried Cetaphil, a custom mixed moisturizer by my dermatologist, and several drugstore moisturizers. Nothing helps. Everything irritates. But strangely, my skin is incredibly oily at the same time. It makes my skin feel, like... stressed, all the time. I get red every single day. My skin has kind of a scaly texture.
Any suggestions at all would be appreciated. At this point, after so many doctors and a dermatologist have failed to help, I feel like my skin must be beyond help. I know it's not bad compared to many others, but I can't stop thinking about it.
Hey !
I have been applying coconut oil on my scars and red marks for the past 2 weeks and I would say I have 5% improvement in scars texture and about 50% improvement in my red marks
they are definitely fading much more faster !
I think that would be agood start for you as well as your red marks do not seem to be hard to go away
If money is not a concern for you, I would recommend getting IPL or Vbeam. I've had three sessions of IPL so far and I'm seeing a lot of improvement on my red marks. Topicals have no effect on Post-inflammatory Erythema (red marks)
Glycolic is good for treating Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (brown marks). Maybe your derm prescribed it for your brown marks. Hard to tell from the picture since it's blurry.
