-
... All I can sae is, dun expose too much to da sun... can make it permanent... best go to see specialist...
I a guy leh... I cant advice WAT to use, WHO to see... Dis all I can offer loh... *shrugs* -
If u need to lighten the brown scars caused by pimples , u can actually apply a thin layer of White Perfect Spot Corrector (Think watson , guardian etc got sell) at the place where u need to lighten the spot after washing and toning ur face.
The White Perfect Spot Corrector helps to lighten the spot by exfoliating the surface dead cells and regulate the melanin production on that spot so that it does not produce excessive melanin.
However , it is important to always protect your face with UV protection to prevent the spot from darkening.

Be like me... get one pair of scissors and trim away the pimple... then go doctor tell him sew up.... then after 3 weeks when scar is there go to specialist ask her to use laser remove the line... can lor! HAHAAH
Ok more realistic approach lar brudder....dun say i swan u.... be like me and my friend pocket pig.... everywhere you go....bring facial wash..... every few hours go toilet wash face.... then dry with tissue... make sure the tissue dun stick to your face or u look like "Toilet bowl" boy.. okie? Then after a few weeks your acne should improve...
If you got a lot of $$$ go specialist and ask them to use laser surgery on you...
if you got moderate $$$... go to doctor get ANTIBIOTICS and cream for face... -
I think if she were to consult a specialist, laser surgery isn't so necessary. Sometimes to curb acne problems, the specialist will give AHA treatment. But then it depends on the condition the skin is in. AHA-treated skin cannot be exposed to the sun too much. Each time you visit the specialist and get medicine, it's about $200.Originally posted by chaar123:If you got a lot of $$$ go specialist and ask them to use laser surgery on you...

I had a friend who went for another kind of treatment. I'm not sure how it's really like, but he took pills that cost him $6 each. Now his face is totally clear and it's a major improvement from last year.
Visiting the National Skin Centre for antibiotics and cream may not be a good idea. There's this antibiotics which I find that they commonly give out. It's called doxycycline, green capsule. Taking the antibiotics will cause nausea for some. And I'm not sure if this is correct, but using pimple cream to dry up pimples will actually cause scars to form. -
Seek specialist help from National Skin Centre (appt booking : 63506666) and the doctors there will give u a thorough review. No doubt the fees are quite high around 50 bucks per consultation excluding prescription but its worth a try. Normally for acne problems the doctor will give you a short course of doxycycline to kill the acne causing bacteria (propionbacteriacea) and some facial wash depending on your skin condition and finally some topical cream to apply....the most effective lotion so far is the Dalacin T topical gel which is antiobiotic in nature and will add on to the killing of bacteria.....with the above your face should clear up in a week's time but daily care is needed to prevent future outbreaks....dont touch your face with your dirty hands and wash face twice daily and use oil blotter in between washes to remove excess oil.......washing your face too often will reverse the intended effect.
advice fr a guy...can u believe it? -
I tried the Skin Centre's treatment, exactly the same one as yours. But the antibiotics caused me nausea and it was very difficult to carry on with lessons in the morning. And I found that while the acne problem was controlled during the course of taking the medicine, it came back again after I stopped.Originally posted by NeonTetra:Seek specialist help from National Skin Centre (appt booking : 63506666) and the doctors there will give u a thorough review.

REMEMBER: always complete the course of antibiotics given and follow the instructions (ie. before/after food) with a full glass of water each time. stopping the antibiotic course will result in bacteria building up resistance and in future no one can save ur face anymore..................
-
cheekycow: maybe u didnt follow the instruction eating the pills before food as some antibiotics cannot be taken empty stomach and they act on your stomach walls rather than on the bacteria. If problems persist u can tell that to your consultant and see if he can prescribe another alkaline drug such as magnesium to counter the nauseating problem. the antibiotics is intended to eliminate the microbes at much faster rate to relieve your agony but prpoer skincare is still needed to manitain that....u cant possibly be relying on the drug all the time as it has some side effects too

Alright. Perhaps I should try consulting them again. I must admit I wasn't exactly very faithful in eating those antibiotics. I hate capsules.Originally posted by NeonTetra:cheekycow: maybe u didnt follow the instruction eating the pills before food as some antibiotics cannot be taken empty stomach and they act on your stomach walls rather than on the bacteria.

there is no way to remove them, only lighten..
take vitamin C, D and E pills or fruits or vegetables which has them..
i been drinking orange juice n tomato juice... not those packet ones... freshly squeeze ones.. drink more water, haf enough sleep and exercise.. though it takes a longer time but my complexion has become better..
lastly watch the kind of food u eat.. -
hmmm pimple scar... i heard from a doctor , he say need around 6 month then the scar will lighten until cannot see...

wait for a while and exfoliation will help too.............
-
does scrubs such as St. Ives etc...helps??
-

-
i'm sorry but what is pimple scars ? is it the blueish dot that left by a pimple ? .. if it is i think it'll fade away slowly by itself ..
-
Eh don't u feel a burning sensation after applying toner .. it sucks
btw .. what medicine should i use for breakouts around T area ( for men )?
Kamsia
-
depends on ur skin type (oily, normal or combination) and use a suitable facial cleanser (Cetaphil oily skin cleanser recommended for such skin type) and use some topical antibiotic gel to apply over affected areas. U mentioned T-zone and i suppose such break outs is due to over production of sebum in this area and use some pore unclogging wash can also help to reduce the build up of oil and thus reduce chances of out breaks.....if problem persists, consult a dermatologist at the National Skin Centre.

Saw on yesterday's paper Bioskin having a promotion to treat acne related problems such as enlarged pores, oily skin, black/white heads etc...at the cost of only 38 SGD (normal price 98 SGD)...maybe u can try that ??
