Expert: Linda Gearke - 7/1/2009

Question
i have bad acne and i was told to use retin-amicro (the
puple colored one) by a dematologist in my town. he said it
has a side affect to make skin dry. but it helps, my mom
noticed too. but its getting annoying because i keep
shedding skin off my forhead and i have a couple scars from
it too. is there anything to help like products, kitchen
ingredents, anything that will help with the scars and
dryness?

and i had a really bad rast on my arms and upper legs about
a few months ago because of exema or however its spelled, it
left huge brown markings on my legs. is there anything i
could do about that?

thanks

Answer
Hello Krystine~

I am not familiar with the product your dermatologist has prescribed.  I would suggest that you also be using an oil-free moisturizer.  That should rememdy this problem.  And, I suggest you speak with you dermatologist for a recommendation as to which would be best for your skin condition.  

As for the brown markings on your legs...I would also speak with dermatologist about this.  

Best wishes,

Linda Gearke
