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 On the other hand, acne treatment for severe cases usually includes one or more prescription medications.Phototherapy and laser, as well as cosmetic procedures have been used to remove the scars from acne.

Avatar n tn Vitamin B5 dramatically reduced acne scars and a large scar on my hand. I was taking 1000 mg daily for adrenal fatigue. Incidentally it eliminated much of my scar tissue. It will take a few months, but it worked for me. Look it up on the internet.
Avatar n tn However cystic acne needs to be treated. Cystic acne is the most severe form of acne. Cystic acne affects deeper skin tissue than the more superficial inflammation from common acne. Since they are severe, so systemic medications are usually required. The treatment consists of topical and oral antibiotics, tretinoin, oral contraceptives in females and Intralesional corticosteroid injections. Very severe cases may need excision and drainage.
Avatar f tn I got these ances on October 2012, since I put Bio oil on my face after shaving, in order to remove a tiny acne scar, although my skin on the face got 1 or 2 little wounds after shaving. At the beginning, I felt my skin was burning after I put Bio oil on my face. 1 day later, ances occurred and my skin itched. I went to see a doctor. He said my skin is very healthy, I was afraid that I was allergic. The symptom(acne) is still there.
Avatar m tn hi how can i remove my acne scare with any cosmetic surgery it is possible and safe and one thing more how much is going to be cost me
Avatar f tn I finally decided that my acne was troublesome enough to see a dermatologist. It isn't just the acne, but mainly the resulting scars that made me decide to seek the help of a professional. I get keloids on most of my body, but not on my face. I do have abnormal/excessive scarring on my face, but I wouldn't compare it to the keloids on my body. The facial scars are generally quite flat, but brightly pigmented (the color of inflamed acne, unfortunately).
Avatar n tn My mom and I researched it and were convinced it was rosacea, but I went to a dermatologist and she said it was acne scars and put me on all of this treatment. But I'm still stuck on the rosacea thing, because I just can't understand how all of these "acne scars" would have popped up overnight and spread around.And I have ZERO pimples on my face, it's just redness and spots. So isn't it pointless to put me on acne medication? I can post pictures if needed.
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).
1165843 tn?1263018569 Hello, Cystic acne is the most severe form of acne. Cystic acne affects deeper skin tissue than the more superficial inflammation from common acne. Since they are severe, so systemic medications are usually required. The treatment consists of topical and oral antibiotics, tretinoin, oral contraceptives in females and Intralesional corticosteroid injections. Very severe cases may need excision and drainage. Also the treatment has to be taken for a long time so that relapses do not occur.
Avatar m tn I also suffer from keloid scars on my chest and back because of severe acne in my junior high days. I am wondering if this is just acne acting up again or something more severe. The use of google suggested eczema or scabies. Anyone have an idea of what this could be? (Image attached) http://oi65.tinypic.com/2573kwi.
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 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 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 which leads me to the conclusion that my pigmentation issues are very deep. Scars like boxcar scars usually come from acne. Please help me!
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 n tn I'm a junior in high school and I have severe acne scars on my nose. It's been awhile since I've had them, since before freshman year. I've been able to withstand walking around with such a face so far but recently I'm getting more self conscious. I'm about to go to college in just a few more years - I don't want to still have these hideous marks on my nose. My whole face is scarred but my nose is the most severe and disgusting.
