HI TImnuoa





Here is a testimonial on healing the issue.





ALOE VERA, LEMON JUICE, HONEY, VITAMIN E, TOOTHPASTE +++

- aloe vera gel (works better on fresh wounds)


- lemon juice


- honey


- vitamin e oil or capsule


- toothpaste


- cucumber juice (leave it on for 15 minutes and wash off with cold water)


- make a paste of salt, baking soda, lemon juice, and honey. Leave on face for 15 minutes and wash off with cold water.











Best of health to youCan you do anything about scars from acne?
i think people do 1) chemical peels (ranging from really strong, at the dermatologist's, to weaker, weekly ones you can do at home) 2) dermabrasion - at derm. this is a mechanical exfoliation of the top layer of skin. SERIOUS exfoliation. Like sandpaper, i think. 3) laser resurfacing. personally i think the fda and docs rushed lasers out to the public, and long term side effects are yet unknown, and doctors are unlikely to report what side effects are known to them (and understood as side effects vs. patients being lazy/bad/crazy).





go to acne.org and look through people's answers.
yes aloe vera definitely helps with the redness, but to prevent any further scarring use a facial sunscreen(Aveeno makes great moisturizer/sunscreen blends...I sware by them) Also try takin a Vitamin C and D capsule once a day.





Good Luck!!
