Pimple scar on my cheek that isn't fade or going away

Pimple scar on my cheek that isn't fade or going away

Hi, I've tried every method to get rid of this pimple scar left by me popping it stupidly. I assumed it would heal naturally but after 2 months it was still very red, very visible and very annoying. Because I have fairly light skin (asian male 24), I tried everything from benzoyl peroxide, vitamin e oil, cocoa butter and currently using glycolic acid 12% made by AHA.

Please help. Do I need plastic surgery for this or is there a natural topical cure? I think glycolic acid has made my skin worse IMO after removing dead skin from the surface.

Please help. Thank you.

Hi,

Nothing can be said with surety without having a look at the lesion.

Have you consulted a skin specialist for your complaints?

You could apply calmine lotion at the site,use some demyelinising agents, and use a medicated sunscreen.

Let us know what your skin specialist advises and post us if you need any other information.

Regards.
