Common Questions and Answers about Acne scars and tanning

Avatar f tn Acne scars and scars in general will fade over time. Many times we worry about marks on our skin and think everyone notices them or looks at them, when it is only us who pay attention to these "imperfections" we have. Truthfully, no one else really cares about the small scars everyone has, as no one has perfect skin. Plus, if the picture you have up is you, you can't notice a thing and you look pretty. I am being honest.
Avatar f tn I have tried Bio-oil, Exfoliating and massaging Cocoa butter even tanning every summer and still nothing has worked they fade about 5% at the most with tanning but they are still Dark an extremely noticable. Is there anything else you could possibly recommend to help me with this. I know they can only ever fade but fading to great extent would be bloody brilliant. Thanks Self conscious!!
Avatar m tn I'm 22 year old female. I was taking spironolactone for cystic acne. Last April I quit it and my birth control so my husband and I could have a baby (my second.) My skin immediately started to get bad again, which I expected. However, my chest would develop weird little bumps that would eventually go away. But I'm a habitual picker, so I'd sometimes pick at them. Some of the bumps left what I assumed were scars, but from googling I'm unable to find scars that appear like mine do.
Avatar f tn I went to the tanner yesterday(no more free tanning in the yard - too cold!) and noticed that a few minutes into the tan, the itching eased up considerably and amost went away entirely for a few hours afterwards. I plan on going back to the tanner in a few days to see if I get the same results - and I'm wondering if the UV rays from the tanning bed will eventually clear this rash up. Any ideas or suggestions?

20910642 tn?1627445346 Nothing else worked for me, as a result, scars have already formed. 95% of my scars are located on my cheeks and temples. 99% of the scars are "rolling" scars. I'm currently 25 years old and male, and I've been 1.5 years off Accutane and any oral medication for treating acne. My acne is now under control.
Avatar f tn I have used Nadoxin C, Triglow, Deriva, Clyndamycin, Retino A, Acne lotion. Kindly suggest. What should i do to get rid of these scars on my legs, arms and acne on my face?
Avatar f tn I always had pretty good skin up until about 6 months ago. That's when these cystic-like ance started (mainly around my mouth/jaw/cheeks). I literally have tried EVERYTHING. So I went to doctor and they prescribed me an antibiotic which did not phase the acne. After looking into everything I eat and take medicine wise...I do honestly believe that my Synthroid has been causing it all. About 6 months ago my Synthroid had been raised to 200mcg.

Avatar n tn How long do you think I should go without tanning? Wearing this garment for weeks is a real pain and having a tan would be something nice to have right now.... Thank you again!
Avatar f tn t know what that is its huge painful zits that are deeper than regular ones and if you mess with them they always come back and they always scar. And i also have regular acne. Nothing helped with my first. This Time I'm staying away from sylsalic acid however you spell it it's OTC but not good during pregnancy and I'm using peroxide based face washes. If I wash my face every morning and night and follow with a great moisturizer no problem.

Avatar n tn Is anyone else dealing with ridiculous acne? I'm 12 weeks now and it's only getting worse. I don't think I had this bad acne in my teen years.

Avatar n tn I have acne scars on my face they're red and black what should I do to get rid o them I'm having them for 2 years now
Avatar n tn I'm 26 and tanned a few years in my early twenties. I saw a derm about six months ago, and my skin was fine. Since then, I've developed almost cystic like acne on my right-side jawline, which has since gone down. However, there was a bump I must've picked which left a sore that scabbed over, went away, became irritated and came back, not healing up after what seems like a few months.
Avatar f tn Does anyone know about the scarring after-effects of accutane? I've read several reports of scarring left after it's use. I'm sure that scars are to be expected, as with any open wound, but I don't know if these reports are by anyone with abnormalities with healing/scarring. Here is the situation... I have mild, maybe slightly moderate acne. I get keloids on other parts of my body, but thankfully not my face. I still get abnormal facial scarring though.
Avatar m tn Hi, I'm Rhyan, from the Philippines. Well, I'm an acne sufferer.. 3 months ago, I was perfectly looking good, my face was clear, there was pimples but you could rarely see them on my face and they were getting healed naturally and fast. But now, everything turned upside down, I had breakouts that almost covered my entire face by acne in just 3 months!
