how long does it take for acne scars to fade

I found that long-term use of vitamin B5 reduced my scars greatly. You need to take 500 mg daily. There are no side effects. But you must be patient. The improvement is slow and steady. You will start to see results after about six months.

Sun exposure on scars would do the opposite by darkening them, not lightening them. The scars color does fade over time, but you don't want to have it exposed to the sun for long periods of time and would want to avoid sun exposure.Scars are particularly sensitive to sunlight and can sunburn faster than healthy skin, according to the American Academy of Dermatology.

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.

Hi, if you would like to use a natural product to help fade acne scarrring or repair sun damaged skin, then look for an oil that has Vitamin E (or even break open a Vitamin E capsule and smear it into the damaged skin). My favourite is Jojoba Oil which is high in Vitamin E and suitable for all skin types.

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.

I am wondering how long does it normally take for scars to fade?

If you are talking about just like dark spots from post acne those can take up to a year to go away, they just fade away. But the deep ones are permanent unless you see a dermatologist and ask what they recommend by lookijng at them. I know I would like to get it done myself but it can be sooo expensive! Look it up online under a google search and type in acne scars and there are actually different types and it will tell you what kind of treatment works for what type of scar you have.

I could suggest cocoa butter. It has been known to fade scars. I inherited really bad acne with my genetics and easily scarring skin and have have used both of those on myself so I can say for sure that at least in my experience they work.

Are you seeing scars from the pimples or pimples? Typically acne scars will fade with time, but that depends on the severity and your skin. If you are having issues with acne, I recommend trying either Proactive or a product called Unblemish by Rodan and Fields- both you can locate by searching Google for them and order them online, I believe.

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.

Hi. One of my arms is pretty much the same. I bought BioOil which is said to have some 'breakthrough' formula to reduce the appearance of scars, even skintone and stuff like that. It does reduce the appearance of them for a little while but I find if my skin gets too cold or too warm my scars become a lot more noticable unfortunately.

I live in Florida and it is very hot and I cannot take off my shirt with this look. It seems to not be fading at all. Thanks for your help.

I has been my experience that time lightens up the scars. I suffered from cystic acne which left dark spots and scars. The scars remained, but the spots faded to normal skin color. It takes a while.

ve heard that the laser thing takes an EXTREMELY long time for it to heal. I have long hair and if I put it up or have it down it always touches my neck and back, I clean my back, shoulders, face, chest all the time and they clear up somtimes but then I hit my period and then it takes weeks for it to clear up again. And then I started to try lemon juice and it bleached my skin. Does Aloe Vera work for the scars or is it just for healing the pimples themselves?

i heard about from my friend about Enhancer from Nu Skin that can prevent from producing scars from a fresh wound especially from burns,i dont know if it works for "scars already there". how long is that scar there?

Now i thought scarring is indentions in the skin? Is it not and that acne redness will fade with time because according to my derm he said that my acne redness is scarring and that the redness wont go away and that theres nothing that can be done about it. He said that i'll have to live with it for the rest of my life and that the only possible treatment for this is laser. Is all of this accurate?

I went online today to find the answer to this question and then realized the question didn't even exist. After a long search I found it in this forum from 2004. It was never really answered. A woman said she had dark pigment in her inner thighs and developed cyst(like cystic acne) in sync with her menstrual cycle that were large and painful and itchy. Did I mention painful. I'm guessing the pigmentation is due to insulin resistance and a stressed pancreas.
