acne gone, red spots still.. please help!
ok, i have a question and it's kinda embarrassing to me atleast. i had acne, i went on accutane for 5 months, got off it a few weeks ago. it worked great! i have no acne at all! but however, i had the red spots from the acne :( i dont have any indentions on my face, thank God! i cant get any real surgery like laser treatments or microdermabrasions for 5 months, because accutane is such a serious medication. but is there anything that i can do to make the red spots (or scars whatever they are) fade away quickly?! and especially by summer time!!!!

When I was a teenager I had really bad acne. I wrode the antibiotic, prescription gel/ cream for I don't know how long before my dermatologist prescribed Accutane. And yes... I had the evil "red spots" too.
The red spots are scars. But there is good news... I assume you're young... The great thing about being young is that your skin is going to regenerate fairly quickly, and the scars are going to fade and eventually heal. By the time you are able to receive any type of lazer surgery, your scars will have faded considerably.
After my acne went away, and I was left with the scars, I asked my dermatologist if there was anything I could do. He suggested a cream with vitamin E... I know there all type of products on the market, so you might want to ask your doctor.
I don't know if you are a girl or a guy... But if you are a girl, remember that you can always where make-up until your scars heal. I personally suggest make-up made by Neutrogena. (I know you can buy it at both Target and Wal-Mart.) Make sure that whatever you buy is "non-comedogenic." (Means that it won't clog your pores and cause your skin to break out again.)
