Suggest Medication For A Red Mark Left By Acne
I am 18. I suffer from moderate acne, and have recently begun using antibiotic tablets and lotion which have helped dramatically. However for at least 3 months now I have had a spot/raised area of skin in the corner of my nose. It was the site of a spot. I am concerned as usually my spots only last a couple of weeks max. I certainly don't want to be left with this spot for the rest of my life. Any help on how to get rid of it would be appreciated.

Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have red mark left by acne, well acne basically formed due to clogged pores of sebaceous glands , dead skin , sebum and bacteria get trapped in it. I would suggest you to use product containing benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid for acne or cream containing isoteritenoin. For red marks aloe vera is very effective natural product also use azelaic acid cream. If condition persist for more then a month then consult dermatologist for proper examination and treatment . Doctor may prescribe antibiotics course for acne and procedure like microneedling, collagen induce therapy or chemical peeling for acne marks.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
