Common Questions and Answers about Healing acne scars quickly

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 n tn At first, I believed this bumps were hypertrophic acne scars. I thought this because the bumps appear exactly on the same location where I had pimples. The biggest bump I thought was related to a really big pimple I had on my nose 5 years ago. Now, I don't know if the bump was very big at first. I would think if it was big at first I would have noticed it and been conscious of it.
Avatar n tn No. Elocon cream is not meant for skin infections like chickenpox, shingles, acne, cuts, blisters, etc. It has a strong active ingredient that treats severe inflammation and allergies and is even risky to use in those situations as well. Put it down! You don't want to make things worse. Instead, try a calming aloe vera gel or Bio Oil to speed the healing of your marks. And be patient. They will fade with time.
Avatar f tn I had a few ice pick/box acne scars. It is very dangerous, but the best method for me was 99.9% dichloroacetic acid or 100% tricloroacetic acid! IT WORKED!!!! Instead of going to a medspa where they charge $100 per "hole", I bought the acid online. The chemical company only ships to businesses, so I had then ship to my husbands work. It's dangerous because if the acid goes outside of the area or if you leave it on too long it may scar.
Avatar m tn So i tried draining it by squeezing it but then he quickly scared. A week later my face was full of scars and bumps so I went t my doctor and she said it was impetigo. I was treated and it quickly cleared up but it came back slowly, I've tried going on specific diets to figure out what causes it but never found out. Even if it does go down by squeezing it,it fills back and scars. I just want to know what the hell it is and why its on my face.
Avatar f tn Will this prevent the scar from healing? Is this part of the healing process? It burns when I put any products on it and when I touch the area. It has been over a week since I first had the mark, but usually my scars don't get irritated so easily after a week. They are usually gone by then. Should I be worried that this might never fade? I also peeled the dried layer off when the pimple dried up. Was it just a really deep pimple and it needs more time to heal than the others?
Avatar m tn Oh I had another quick question. I know that new scars/wounds are really sensitive to sun as the skin healing is not nearly strong enough. However, I see a lot of sun screens warn not to put on "broken skin". I imagine this is skin that is still in the bleeding phase, not in the collagen/scar building phase? I'm wondering if sunscreen is harsh even though it seems pretty necessary to put on? I use Olay's sensitive SPF 30 currently which has zinc oxide.
1157646 tn?1343967128 It is available as a patch or strip and safely reduces scars. For facial scars like acne, use ScarAway Serum. Very effective, although the patches (often referred to as silicone scar sheets) are most effective so use them when feasible, and serum only when you cannot use the strip in the area. What is your take on this? Curious because dermatologists mostly say no to vitamin e for scars, but some plastic surgeons still say yes (although many say no).
Avatar m tn If untreated, acne can cause physical and psychological scars. It should be treated quickly and robustly and not refered to as "just acne". Best Wishes, Eloise.
Avatar n tn how do i get rid of acne scars of my face im a black male and finding it hard to find the right thing to use
Avatar n tn Hi. Avoid squeezing your pimples. This seldom improves their appearance and will delay healing time. It will also spread bacteria under the skin leading to future breakouts and can cause permanent scarring. One of the most helpful over-the-counter remedies is Freederm (nicotinamide) which reduces inflammation. Your doctor can prescribe stronger preparations such as Dalacin (clindamycin) or Duac gel (clindamycin and benzoyl peroxide).
Avatar n tn Microdermabrasion and laser skin resurfacing are the two most popular for everything from fine lines to acne and other facial scars. It may sound drastic or scary, but these treatments are becoming more common and affordable each year. Do some research to find which clinics offer these treatments in your area. Look at their websites, photos and testimonies, and email the doctor that you are interested in. They should have all this info on the clinic's website.
Avatar m tn i am a teenager girl 17years old. i have acne problem and oily skin and acne scars i have tried everything and every treatment nothing happend.so how should i cure my acne and my acne scares and oily skin.
Avatar f tn Yeah, try Conchar Nacar. It's a latin mask made from oyter shell. Great stuff. Use it like 2x a week. It will also help impurities on your skin. Make sure that you mix it before applying. It's a weird texture and looks like oatmeal when you put it on. But I have always used for a mask. http://www.americarx.com/BrandPages/Concha_Nacar_ProductName_ASC_25_1.
Avatar n tn I also have some scars in my face, like tiny holes because of acne. besides the treatment i´m already in to eliminate them, is there anything else I can do to accelerate the process of removing them?
Avatar f tn Resembling sinus-tracts are ice pick scars that are atrophic scars remaining after acne. They are deep with a very narrow skin opening and extend into the dermis. The skin looks as if it has a small, deep "hole" in it. They develop after an infected cyst or other deep lesion causes tissue destruction during the healing process and results in a column like scar. Such scars can be treated with punch excision or punch grafting.
Avatar m tn If there was pus inside the pimple, it is likely it was an acne lesion. Never pop or squeeze any skin lesion in any way. If it is an acne spot you will spread the bacteria under the skin leading to more spots. You can also cause secondary infection making diagnosis harder. To speed healing and avoid scarring there are several good products I will recommend. Bio-oil is made of Vitamin A and fades new and old scars and discolorations of the skin. Clinique make two excellent products.
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.
