Can someone help me with my problem skin?
txmom asked:
I have had problem skin since my teen years. I’m 42 now and in search of a solution. I have acne scars and very uneven skin tone. Just recently I’ve noticed that I have a line along my jaw-line and it looks brownish (almost like a makeup line). Also my chest is very blotchy. What can I use to even out my skin tone and get rid of the scars. Several years ago I spent a lot of money having facial laser treatment and it did not help at all!

go to a dermatologist and ask him/her what u should do. consider accutane, it’s a strong pill that works 100% on acne, gets rid of all of it. there’s symptoms though so u have to ask your doctor if it’s right for u. Cait
I don’t know if you know about this..use.. MULTANI MITTI (Fuller’s Earth) .. it is a product from India really good for scars and skin .. if you are from Texas .. it is very easy to find .. go to any Indo-Pak store and ask

If you are not getting many new lesions then Accutane is NOT the answer. If it is mostly scarring then you might benefit from the use of Retin -A which is now generic so it’s not that expensive anymore. Your health care provider or dermatologist can recommend the best course. PAYAK
sounds like the problem i used to have. This is what I do and it works really well. At night i exfoliate my face with cornmeal mixed with your face cleaner. It is very gental on your skin. It makes your skin super soft. I wash that off and let my face dry and then I put 100% vitamin E oil on my face every night. That got rid of all my acne scars and cleared my skin. But make sure you use pure vitamin e oil. You can get that from ebay it is a dark yellow color. manda Lu
it sounds like your skin has pigmented. that is a reaction from your skin to protect it’s self from damage. what I would recommend if you were my client is a series of peels and microdermabraison. the microderm will smooth out the surface and help with breakouts it will also speed up your cell metabolism. the peels after will help break up the pigment and tighten the skin, as well as smooth out the surface. after I persribe a vitamin C serum to be applied topically to your skin. the vitamin C stops the pigmentation process inside the skin. Vitamin C will also help with fine lines as well as give you some sun protection.
Look for and interview a few clinical skin care therapists, if you find one that knows her stuff she can really help your skin. P k
sounds like a mild skin lightening soap can help you.. it’s what i use for dark acne marks, uneven skin tone and blotchy areas on face. FairLady
