How to heal red marks from spots?
On my chin, from where I had spots previously, the red inflamation strongly remains. This means that there is an appearance of red scars peppered all over my chin and they look rather deep seated. I use Dermalogica, The Body Shop seaweed facial wash, and other good exfoliators however I only exfoliate once a week and use the gentle Dermalogica Microfoliant daily (as advised by a specialist). I also drink a lot of water, green tea, etc. and eat quite well along with treating congested skin with tea tree oil, toothpaste or sudocrem depended on the state. If anyone has any tricks or particular foods, products etc. that they find help with them I’d really appreciate the information!
Thank you! 
It sounds like papuloputular Rosacae (one of the types). Typical treatments with not huge success include antibiotics or steroids or sulfur-containing creams. I don’t think tea tree oil or toothpaste, which assume an underlying infection are going to work. They are basically natural versions of the antibiotics and don’t address the cause.
A colleague from China, also an MD, had a type of Rosacae, and explained that it was treated as inflammation (a hot condition) usually associated with stress and strong anger emotions in traditional Chinese Medicine, using herbs to ‘cool’ these things and working on the stress. This approach was markedly more effective than the Western remedies. The herbs will vary according to individual, different sexes and different ages will have different hormone levels/needs which may or may not be out of balance that can be addressed, so it’s best to go to a practitioner. An anti-inflammatory regimen with those herbs might help.
I will look in my files to try to find what she was prescribed and post back, but again, they are individual and it would be good to go to a reliable Chinese Medicine practitioner to get your personal prescription.

Additionally Cod Liver Oil (Vitamin D and Omega 3 esential fatty acids) have an anti-inflammatory affect and have been shown to help reduce redness in a number of skin conditions. You can either take cod liver oil capsules (they aren’t bad) or get Vitamin D and Omega 3 fatty acids separately to help reduce redness. It’s especially good since most people use sunblock which further decreases the amount of Vitamin D they have.
Some herbs that are used in Chinese medicine for rosacae include Scute, Gentiana, Gardenia, Bupleurum, Alisma, Angelica, Rehmannia, Licorice. Again, it would be better to get a compounded lotion just for you from a practitioner.
