Acne creams and ointments, that are readily available in pharmacies and commonly used, are extremely effective against the acne problem. Unfortunately these creams and ointments also strip the skin of essential nutrients that are necessary for the healing process. This often causes dark spots or patches. You can use various medicated creams and products that are readily available in the market today, to reduce these blemishes. Products that contain onion extract are said to be particularly effective. If you are continuing with your acne treatment I suggest that you use a natural facial tonic to replenish lost nutrients. Use a mixture of egg yolk and honey to nourish your skin and prevent scarring. This is a time when your skin is extremely vulnerable. Even mild over exposure to sun light can cause dryness and darkening of your skin and even make it flake. Make sure that you use a sunscreen lotion with a very high sun protection factor (SPF) of at least 30.
If your scars are still visible after a couple of months, you can always visit a certified dermatologist who will be able to prescribe stronger medication to eliminate them. You can also discuss dermatological procedures like dermabrasion and microdermabrasion with him or her.
