I have an many acne in my face and accidental scars and another type of marks in my face so can I use lacto calamine lotion for this and how to use please suggest me.

Question

Hello, lacto calamine helps with moisturizing, antioxidant and rejuvenation but it does not have much effect on scars and pigmentation. There are various treatments for acne scars which include creams, chemical peels, microdermaabrasion, microneedling, radiofrequency, surgery, fat fill laser etc. Creams work only for superficial pigmentation not for scars. You can start initially on milder depigmentation creams which contain kojic acid, arbutin, niacinamide like Melaglow at night and use sunscreen three times a day. And depending on type of skin whether oily or dry you can choose a face wash. It need examination and personalized plan. Consult a dermatologist.

Hello lybrate-user! lactose calamine is not a medicine it's just a daily needed lotion for skin, for acne you have to take anti acne kit with internal purification n lifestyle guidance, n for accidental marks you need to do something more as these marks damage all 7 layers of skin, even for these marks we suggest to do panchkarma, for more information please contact me on private chat, till then take care,
