" I have lots of dark pink spots on my feet from last summer&amp;#039;s blisters. Is there a way to banish them before sandal season? Those marks mean the top layers of skin damaged by last summer&amp;#039;s shoe friction are still healing, says Deborah S. Sarnoff, a NYC cosmetic dermatologist. The good news: They&amp;#039;re not permanent scars, and you can speed up their disappearance with an over-the-counter 1 percent hydrocortisone cream, applied once daily before bed. Try Cortaid Intensive Therapy Moisturizing Cream, $8.49. You should see results in approximately two months. For slightly faster fading, ask your dermatologist for a prescription blend of equal parts hydroquinine (to bleach out darkness), hydrocortisone (to reduce swelling), and Retin-A or Renova (to accelerate cell turnover). Apply the concoction only at night since Retin-A makes skin sun-sensitive. Your marks should pull a disappearing act in about six weeks. You can fake flawless feet in the interim -- say if you want to sport some sexy, strappy sandals tonight -- by masking those marks with smudge- and waterproof camouflage makeup. Try CoverBlend by Exuviance Corrective Leg and Body Makeup, $16; or Dermablend Leg and Body Cover Creme, $15.50, and Loose Setting Powder, $18. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
