Talk to Dermatologist on Skin Care
Asking For Self, Female 23, punjab
I have visited a dermatologist 1 month ago. i have acne prone & oily skin. so my doctor prescribed some skin products including: metaphil cleanser, dermive oil free mousturizer, skinaqua sunblock and (clear cream adapalene B.P) 0.1% w/w. so advised me to apply the cream for 4 hours on acne scars at evening time when there is no sunrays. so basically my question is when i am applying this cream on my face so can i do other home remedies like applying aloe vera gel, rice mask, sheet masks, coffee mask, youghurt and turmeric masks ??? can i do scrubbing right now??? should i use this (ointment) cream for long i mean till the scars completely fade ??

Physical scrubbing is not being considered good these days as it is believed that it can cause more damage than good. About using home remedies, as long as home remedies does not use an ingredient that is harsh for skin or pore clogging, u can use it. Clear cream has adaplene that can be used for long periods of time. Use it the right way to prevent skin drying and irritation.

You mean u have scars. Aloe Vera gel cannot help with scars. Its is soothing and moisturising gel. Contractubex gel has silicon that can help with scars but only new scars not years and years old scars.

Lasers such as CO2 fractional laser may help to some extent.

no dun use any remedy untill ur Dr prescribe u medicine
Please do not mix up the herbal stuff with the prescription medication. That may cause scaring.
Don't use any home remedies if you are taking medications for acne. If you have acne marks it would get fade with time but acne scars needs laser and other procedures.
