Suggest Remedy To Get Rid Of Scars Post Treatment Of Bacterial Infection
I had what doctors thought was a skin which leaves me white spots all over my chest and back! Finaly they gave me minocycline because they réalised it was actually a bacterial infection. Most of it faded away and since the end of the treatement i still have marks which dont feel like what it used to be. the doctor once told me i could get scars from it. Do you think it could be it? how an i get rid of them?

Hi
The infection in your case seems to have healed with loss of pigmentation which is hypo pigmentation .
There are various agents called the melanocytes stimulating drugs which can be applied to the affected areas to regain the lost pigment .
Exposure to sunlight surely helps ,
I would advise you to see a nearby dermatologist and get a proper assessment done and take proper treatment .
