My current routine:
AM
-ACV toner
-spot treatment
-150mg clindomyicin pill with breakfast
-Sunscreen
AFTERNOON
- ACV toner, then duac*- only spot treat with this. ie: just on pimples
PM
- clind pill
-shower with cetaphil
-Dr H Cleansing Cream
-ACV toner
(-Vit C serum)
-Retin A (everynight spot treat)
Whenever i get a white head, i spot treat it, then the next day its gone, but, i have a red mark instead. What is this red mark, and when does it go away? it seems that all my whiteheads turn into red spots that dont go away, since i have alot of flat red spots, and they never disapear. does anyone know about this??
Please ask questions if you dont understand. |

| That is so good that the whiteheads are going down that fast. The red mark or leftover irritation of tissue just has to have time to fade, that is what the vit c helps with. Once your face is under control and stops breaking out so much and your face totally adjusts to all the retin-a and antibiotics, I'll bet the redness will fade. It really does take time, and I've been there to know how slow that proces seems to go. |

Hello google5,
I agree with what AnnieR said. Its proababaly the retine-A that deflated the whiteheads. The red spots left are ur skin's reaction to retine-A. It takes a lot longer for the red spots to disappear but you can help the process by applying retine-A on those spots. Just don't over-do it. |
