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.
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 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 I have many very noticeable acne scars on my face that have been there for years now. My dermatologist told me that after one or two treatments with the v beam that is would correct this but i've gone for two already and to be honest i see almost no difference at all. ive seen pictures on the internet of people much worse than me and i'm wondering why i havnt seen results yet.
Avatar m tn My skin is so dry and my face is almost three shades darker than my skin, its almost depressing to even look at my self in the mirror, I regret taking acnetane actually, if I knew earlier that results would take as long as this to show , I would have stayed with my cheap temporary remedies for my acne, im so depressed by the way I look and I shy away from people or even taking pictures, my skin has not even changed at all, I still have acne along with the scars I had previously, this has been r
Avatar n tn Hi, this is Eloise from the acne forum. Take a look at my pictures to see how effective microdermabrasion and laser treatment can be at treating post-acne scars. You must wait 6 months after finishing Accutane treatment before having such procedures done because of the increased risk of scarring already fragilised skin. Oral retinoids can cause facial redness and it has only been 3 months since you finished Accutane.
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 f tn Clogged or infected pores can leave a wider pore when they finally heal; you see it all the time with acne scars. Likely it is no more than that. Ask your doc about it next time you have a checkup.
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 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!
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.
Avatar f tn I am a 19 year old teenager facing severe hormonal acne. I have been to a dermatologist a couple of times and have taken several kind of medications. I have also tried to completely fix my diet through drinking detox water, avoiding fatty acids and eating healthy. My acne has become resistant to treatment and isn't improving and I am worried about the scars. The treatment includes isotretinion, topical clindamycin, benzoyl peroxide and retinoids.
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 m tn Your not walking around with scars due to acne. Its not even like I squeeze or do anything. Topicals just destroy my skin. I may as well bleech my skin. I have had enough. I have gone to dozen of doctors, they wont prescribe it, its not their face, they don't care so, I will take matters into my own hands. If I get suicidal or act like a crazy person or my hair thins or balds, I will stop immediately. I have to try this.
Avatar m tn As for and my brother were exacly the same so Idk about that and as for my family on my mom side a bunch of my aunts and my mom have scars but my scars are differant colour my moms is her skin colour xept a bit darker mine are like dark redpurpleish colour but maybe because im half white and my mom is a filipina and as for my diet im pretty sure I have a good diet I like never eat anythinb bad
Avatar m tn For the scars of acne, treatments with acids and chemical peels can be effective but can take a while for the skin to totally revert to its normal color. Microdermabrasion can also be done, but this might require several sessions. Skin resurfacing using lasers is also an option. It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided.
