But because it's the same medicine, same drug, we assume that you will get some absorption from the cream, which means you will have the same consequences. So avoid it during pregnancy, pregnancy. or conception time. You can use it while you're breastfeeding. And this is a common misconception. Women think you cannot use it while you're breastfeeding. Absolutely no problem.

You can use retinoids all you want while you're breastfeeding. The problem is a developing fetus. It can affect the development of a fetus.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah. What you're describing is a form of acne scarring called ice pick scars. They're like essentially like an old ice pick that poked your skin. And that's a result of inflammatory acne eating away the collagen in the skin as a result of the inflammation. And we see this a lot. And there's actually amazing treatments for it.

The simplest form that you can do at home is to use a topical retinoid. So topical retinoids improve the appearance of acne scars. They remodel collagen and they increase collagen density in our skin. So at the minimum, I love patients to be on just a cream at night, which is a topical retinoid. Now, if that isn't enough and you want to address this, there are many ways we can treat this.

I tend to treat ice pick scars with a technique called TCA Cross, which is an old school chemical peeling agent that we place in the scar itself. And it stimulates the scar to fill in on its own. Another option for ice pick scars that's great is microneedling. We love microneedling at a certain depth that stimulates collagen induction.

Everything that we're doing, everything that we try to do is just to get your body to fill in that voided collagen to get the skin to come up. And then fraxel laser or non-ablative resurfacing kind of resurfaces everything in the second layer and helps improve that tone. So there's a lot of things you can do, but at the minimum, just start with a prescription retinoid.
