Question: on my face big and small holes how to cover them any cream
Brief Answer:
Pictures requested for guaging severity of scars
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thank you for posting on HCM.
I can understand your apprehension regarding acne scars and I will try my best to answer your query in a rightful way.
Acne scars are pretty challenging to treat and treatment comes with variable results.
More importantly the fact is no topical medications are going to help in removing scars.
Only tretinoin or glycolic acid based creams can help to some extent but the results are very subtle and unpredictable and works for very mild scars only.
Treatment of scars is mainly procedure-based and depends on type and grade of scars.
Therefore, I insist you to post good clinical pictures to me so that I can help you in a better way.
