Should I Use Til Oil Or Isotane 20 To Treat Pimples?

Hi All

I have got pits on my face (that's common) ... but can those be recovered?

I had consulted a Ayurvedic Doctor a year back and he had suggested me to apply Til oil on my face.

But I have a perception that how can oil help infact it will increase pimples on the face , so I didn't went with that solution. There after I am seeing a doctor who has prescribed me Isotane 20 (which is not helping - since 3 months). So I was thinking of going Ayurvedic way and massaging the face with til oil before going to sleep.

So the question is should I go for it or continue with Isotane 20?

Hello,
Welcome to healthcare magic,
Til oil massage on a pimple prone skin is a very bad idea because it will definitely cause a lot of new pimples. Isotane 20 is a very good treatment for preventing new pimples, but it does not improve pitted pimple scars. For pitted scars you should do procedures like subcision, microdermabrasion, dermarollers, Laser resurfacing etc. For this you need to consult a dermatologist practicing cosmetic dermatology. Hope this helped,
Take care.
