Will Perodua Helps To Remove Acne Spots Fast?

Hi,
I was using Medarma to remove my acne scars which caused spreading of these scares and did not find much effect. Now started using Perodue (Hydrous Benzoyl Peroxide and Adapalene gel) for the same purpose. Will this Peroduo be helpful to remove these acne spots fast?

Hello,
Welcome to healthcare magic.
Peroduo is used to treat active acne and does not have much effect on acne scars.
treatment for scars depends on the type of scars and the duration.
If the marks are only pigmentary changes (dark spots without depressed surface), you could use lightening creams containing 2-4% kojic acid at bedtime for 6-8 weeks.
If the scars are depressed below the skin surface, you may need procedures to manage them.
Acne scar revision procedures include microdermabrasion, subcision, chemical peels, microneedling and fractional lasers. A good dermatologist will be able to guide you after assessing the nature, depth, duration and extent of scars.
Hope this helps you.
Take care.
