little red dots--derm left me hopeless!

I have been using the sal. acid sulfur soap with a loofah daily on my legs and it has smoothed them tremendously. However, I went to the derm today and he was very impressed with the lack of bumps but told me there was absolutely nothing I could do about the tiny red dots. Please somebody give me some hope! I asked if there were lightening creams or some form of retin-a that would take some of it away and he repeatedly said no, no, no. Anyone?

I have been using the sulfer soap as well and have had really good results with smoothing out the bumps, they are gone. I have been using Hydrocortisone Cream before bed. It takes the red out.

Thanks for responding, Kim. I will try the hydrocortisone cream. I also got a self-tanner that the derm reccommended to hide the red spots. I will let you know how it works or if it is a pain to use, etc.

Sulfersoap.com. If you have a problem getting on the site click Search on this page and type in Sulfer soap, then scroll down to Effective Soap Product. The address is in that post to click on.

birdy- In case you still need that web-site, it's sulfursoap.com. Scroll down & it's the one that has 3% salicylic acid. I just rec'd mine in the mail a few days ago so we'll see how well it works. Good luck!

I have tried the self tanners and if I were you I would first try the Hydrocortisone Cream for a little while, it will help lighten the little red dots. I have been doing the Hydrocortisone Cream for about two weeks and I see a difference. Good luck!

Just curious, what percentage of hydrocortisone cream are you using? I'm currently using 1% over the counter stuff and haven't seen much difference. Thanks.

I am using 1% also, I use it before bed. I also do Big Time exfoliating twice a day with sulfer soap. Then I exfoliate with a foot cream that I really like. Good luck!

let me know how the soap works. I just typed sulfer instead of sulfur... I don't know about it... sulfur just sounds so chemical and skin attacking... Someone on this message board (called Rebecca) was really pleased with the goat milk soap she uses, and I mailed to the USA and they'd send me a free sample. Really curious about it. Bye now. Birdy
