Skin problems
I had a couple of questions regarding the skin problems. I have oily skin and my skin is also very sensitive. I had acne problem and that has been solved by the dermatologist I am visiting however there are many scars left to be faded off.
My questions are:
1) My dermatogist had suggested me the pills - Odoxyl and capsules - Vitabin B complex with c. This helped me in getting rid of the maximum acne. How long can I take these; can I take these for lifetime as these are just antibiotics and supplements?
2) My dermatologist suggested me to go through the peel off ( I am not sure of the type) process to fade away the ance scars. Considering I have a very senstive skin, is that a safe option? I mean is there any side effect the peel off procedure can have on sensitive skin?
