About red marks on face

by A Wibg, Mar 01, 2000 12:00AM

Tags: acne, dermatology, treatment

I have taken Roaccutance for 5.5 months and my acne are all dry, but there are many many red marks or dots left on face.

How could I get rid of it?

Do any treatment such as laser or BHA can fade those dots?

if so, Can i do those treatment during the assumption of roaccutance?

The red marks you describe are going to go away on their own, though this will take several months. Additional treatment to speed the process is unavailable, but is in any case not necessary.

Your patience will be rewarded!

Best.
