Hello, If its suggested by a dermatologist after examining you, you can use it. The cream contains tretinoin which can cause burning sensation initially it does settle in few days. Thought the creams gives good results quickly but not good for long term use due to harmful effects of steroid. These creams should not be used for more than 2 months. As the steroid can produce side effects. If you going to in constant followup with the dermatologist you can use it and discontinue if any side effects occur.

Hello. The scars and the pigmentation on the face are treatable. It's better to get it examined first so that we can identify the type of skin, scars and if they are hyper pigmented, atrophic or ice pick scars. The treatment are of various kind like ranging from simple scrubs and mild peels for the face to the major interventions such as laser therapy, dermaroller, subcision or peeling. These depend on the type of the scars and which kind you opt for. You can consult me online or text me with pictures for further details.
