The first and most important thing I want to tell you is this, do not pick at or squeeze your acne. This is the one thing you must remember not to do. As an acne lesion is hurt by fingernails or sharp objects, it will take a longer time to heal and will more likely to leave behind a mark. Hence, here I hope you need to understand this important point before learning more on acne scar. I shall explain more on acne scar prevention and healing here.
You also need to know that the red and brown marks left after an acne outbreak is not true acne scar. It would be see as a depression of the skin or change in texture of the skin, and the discoloration should eventually go away, or lighten significantly over time. So you should not worry too much about such discoloration.
Alright guys! I’ve had it with my blemishes and acne. Sometimes it’s okay, and sometimes it’s just bad. Especially after shaving. The worst places are on my neck and my forehead and upper-back/shoulders and chest usually. My forehead looks like it’s almost scarring and is always drier than any other part of my body, along with my shoulders and upper-back. I wonder how so many young adults my age have a perfectly acne-free, non-drying, scar-free face. It bothers me quite a bit. haha. Anyways, I have a pretty great diet, I drink a lot of water, I take a shower usually every morning, I exercise at least 2 days a week. What’s going on here?? I mean, of course it’s got a lot to do with genetics and what not, but my life style is pretty healthy. I use acne medications, but I usually test one for about a month or two, and then do nothing and nothing at all has changed, and I sometimes try another after awhile, and still nothing changes. Those chemicals don’t work on my skin, so those kinds of treatments are out of the question…. So… what about accutane? my friend was on it, and he is one of the happiest guys, but he was really depressed, but after he was done, he had pretty much no acne. I’m naturally mildly depressed, nothing being active and being around people can’t solve. It might worsen that depression and could have long term side affects… I’ve heard that it comes back wayyy worse after you stop using it, and harms your body, etc, etc. ANYWAYS, after all of that, what would you reccomend? Should I go on accutane? should I try some other type of medication? I’m 19 now, and it’s just pathetic that it’s never really cleared up. Anyone have a little insight on this? Thanks =)
Tried proactive for maybe two years. nada.
on my back mostly n on my chest too theres a big one.. its from scratching the nodules n bustin them it was a few years ago, im on accutane now and no more acne but the scars.. really embarassing .. and i wouldnt mind leavin the shirt off 2 get these farmer tan away.. any scar ointments or anything to make them go away? something from the local pharmacy?
I’m a 15 year old girl. I’m desperate to get rid of my acne marks as fast as possible. I ordered proactive and am getting it in about 3 days to help with my light acne but I need help with my scars!
I can’t afford laser treatment and stuff, so PLEASE, if you have personally found something that works quick and is cheap and won’t break my face out tell me! Please I’m begging.
Thanks.
I have been suffering from acne for a long time. Not just little whiteheads that go away. I consistently get cystic (under the skin pustules that get swollen and red) acne and they have left really bad scars and I am really self conscious about it. I eat pretty healthy and I exercise and I am wondering about Isotretinoin (Accutane). If you think its worth it? Experiences?
I am 39 and have acne scars, not as bad as some but enough to bother me. I took accutane when I was a teen and it first came out. It worked splendidly and I had no scars or acne until I was 21 and got pregnant, 3rd time, and started to break out again. I did not with the other two pregnancies. So I started taking accutane again and it didn’t work that time and I don’t break out anymore but the scars are painful reminders and I hate makeup. Does anyone know of anything, by trial and error or trial and worked, if there is something I don’t know of that will help, not completely take them away. I know that is impossible and I am not getting a chemical peel. My aunt did and it was PAINFUL and didn’t do anything good at all. Please only intelligent answers, this is a personal thing and I don’t let it bother me around people but it does bother me when I look in the mirror. Thank you!
Been there and done that with the Vitamin E and it clogs my pores and doesn’t help, I use cocoa butter all over my body and it has never helped with any scar, just keeps my skin soft. I don’t buy anything OTC, all I am using on my face is Dove soap, recommended by the Dermatologist, who wants to do a chemical peel.
I don’t have active acne, just scars.
