Sensitive Skin, Pimples, Oily. Using Erytop Gel, Lost Original Skin Color. Remedy To Regain Original Color?

Hi,

I have a very sensitive skin and it suffers from hell lots of pimples. Also my skin is very oily. I am using Erytop Gel as it is suggested to me by one of my friend. He also suggested that Erytop Gel removes scars left by pimple. My Pimples are gone, but scars remain as it is. What medicine should I use for removing scars.

Also, I lost my original skin complexion, and now ,my skin is very dark. I daily use sunscreen, but that does n't help. Can you please suggest me what should I use to regain my original complexion?

Thank You.

hi. You mentioned three problems
1. sensitive skin and pimples
2. post acne pigmentation/scars
3. dark complexion

Use a mild cleanser like cetaphil and wash your face twice daily.
You can use a Gel based sunscreen for your sensitive skin.
Azelaic acid gel/cream can help with both pimples and post inflammatory pigmentation.
Use Erytop gel only on new acne/pimples during the day if they develop.


Acne scars can improve with various procedures like chemical peeling, Microdermabrasion, Fractional CO2 Laser, Demaroller/Microneedling. Please visit a dermatologist who would recommend the procedure most suitable for your acne scars and discuss the pros and cons of each modality.

Hi,

You are having post acne scars and pigmentation. Your face color is dark and reduced glow. At present your acne are healed. But, scars are there. For scars, you apply glycolic acid 6 % cream at night and vitamin E cream in morning. Cleanse the face with kojic acid containing face wash. This may improve your complexion. Orally, take vitamin E and C,glutathion and anti oxidants. Your scars may fade and there may improvement in look also.

Try to prevent acne. If they are there,take azithromycine 500 mg daily till you get benefit. Avoid stress and worries. Avoid milk ,ghee and oily food.

I hope you got my answer.

Thanks.
