What Is The Remedy For Holes Caused By Pimples?
Hi Doctor,
I have few small holes on my face caused by pimples. Of all the surgeries that I have gone through I am not very comfortable with any. Is there any medicine or creme that I can apply which can help fill up the holes. There are hardly 10 small holes but the skin looks uneven because of it. Also, I was under medication and have got rid of the pimples for now. Is there any creme that I can apply regularly alongside following a healthy diet, to remain pimple-free for life. Is Tretinoin Retino-A safe enough be used for the rest of my life to remain free of pimples and wrinkles?

Hi,
I can understand your concern for the pimples a in yourself. Acne or pimples are youth related problem and is not a disease per say.
A gel containing clindamycin phosphate 1.2% w/w and tretinoin gel can be very helpful to you for long term. The only precaution you should follow is to apply the cream in very thin layer and that too over affected area only.
If I were your dermatologist then for dark pigmentation I would have suggested you to use azelaic acid cream or Kojic acid cream or glycolic acid cream or licorice extract or arbutine creams at night time in guidance of dermatologist for the spots.
Take a proper guidance and follow up with a good dermatologist for the scars so that all the problem can be dealt best for future time.
Take care
