Acne Scar
Hi , my skin was prone to acne in my teens and I by mistake got an injury to acne at my right jaw once in my teens while shaving and then the acne bump never really healed or went away to my dismay, although the scar wasn't much visible , recently I got a steroid shot twice , first time the scar reduced in size but the second time it reoccured with slightly more visibility to human eye ,, I have to apply tezorac gel 0.1 daily to keep it in control otherwise I feel it gets worse or something .. I would like to know if this is keloid or hypertrophic scar or just a normal scar , treatment options and risks if any.

The treatment of acne differs according to the grade of involvement. Some people have more oilyness on the face which results in breakouts. After completing treatment for controlling the active breakouts, tablets can be stopped and creams need to be continued to prevent recurrence. Diet and lifestyle modifications are also important. Please don't do any self treatment such as over the counter Steroid creams. Don't burst the pimples with your fingers as it can result in ugly scars. The marks and pores left behind after the pimples heal can also be treated. Please call me or send your photos through online consult option for detailed prescription and diet advice.
