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

by clean67, May 07, 2008 12:19PM
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.
