(do dermotoligists help with acne scars?)?

My best friend needs major help with her scars. She has a load of them, not too dark but still....a lot. It's all over her forehead and they're almost fading into her skin (permently). She's coming over my house later on tonight and whenever I see her, I feel sorry for her and always thinking about it, that's why I'm asking for advice. Do dermotoligists help with teenage acne scars? How much?





I'm not a bad friend, I just want to find something to help her scars go away quickly. It's like, all over her forehead and she some down on her chins also.

You are a great friend to be so concerned for your friend. Yes, a dermatologist can be very helpful. This is a list of what they can do for acne:





Retinoic acids.


Available as creams and lotions, these vitamin A acids can help unblock pores and reduce the skin's bacteria.








Topical antibacterials or antibiotics.


These creams and lotions can help reduce acne inflammation and skin bacteria.








Oral antibiotics.


Though not usually the first course of treatment, oral antibiotics such as tetracycline are often used to help reduce the inflammation of acne.








Birth control pills.


Women who use oral contraceptives may notice that their acne improves significantly. In fact, the FDA has approved one birth control pill specifically for acne treatment.








Isotretinoin.


For severe acne that does not respond to other treatments, your dermatologist may prescribe isotretinoin. This medication must be used with care, however, since it can cause birth defects.








Surgery.


It is never a good idea to remove blackheads or whiteheads (both called comedones) or pimples on your own. A dermatologist has the proper equipment to extract them without leaving scars.





Finally, a dermatologis can do laser treatments to even out the skin and reduce the appearance of scars.





Also, Proactive is really fabulous to prevent and get rid of current acne.
