remove acne spots - #12744

Aasha

I am desperate to find a way to remove acne spots because they’ve been driving me crazy lately. Just last month, I had a huge breakout after what I thought was a simple dietary change. Like, I started eating more dairy and all of a sudden my face went nuts. I had these red, inflamed spots everywhere. Does diet really affect acne spots like that? I tried using some over-the-counter creams but nothing feels like it’s working to remove acne spots effectively. I went to the dermatologist too, but all they did was recommend a harsh topical treatment that made my skin feel raw. I mean, is there a gentler way to remove acne spots or at least lighten them? I’m also worried about scarring—my sister had terrible scarring from her acne and it’s like a permanent mark on her face. I just don’t wanna end up like that. Are there any home remedies that anyone found helpful to remove acne spots? I heard aloe vera is supposed to help, but does it really work? Honestly, I just feel so frustrated trying to figure this out. I just want clear skin again! Any tips or advice to remove acne spots would be amazing! Thanks!
