Treat Acne Scarring

How to treat acne scarring?


Hi everyone. I'm 15 years old (male) and just finished 2 courses of Accutane. My skin is still terrible however, with many, many, left behind acne scars on my cheeks. I have lived with them for a LONG time, and nothing is working to help them fade, not even time itself.

I have used scarring medications every day, vitamin E cream, and even Penaten cream, every single night for a long period of time. They haven't decreased the amount of redness or noticeability of my scars.

I feel terrible. My friends sometimes comment and jokingly tease me about them(What great friends huh?). I laugh it off, but it hurts deep inside.

Is there anything I could do? Or is the only option to save up for surgery?

The products you are using, are they Salsylic Acid or Benzoyl peroxide? BP can be VERY drying. I personally like SA better. Salsylic acid it really good. It is in almost all acne washes. Benzoyl Peroxide is too drying for me! Try finding a face lotion with SA in it. Clean and Clear has a good moisturizer with SA and it helps keep pimples at bay. It is only about $5 a bottle and lasts about 2 months and you can get it at your local store. I have used this in the past and it works well. Personally, I use Biore products (which you get over the counter. Their products range from $5-$10). They are harsh on pimples, but not on your face.
Personally, Proactive didn't work for me. I have been using Biore products for over a year and I hardly ever break out! Occasionally I will get one or two, but nothing bad. I use Biore Ice Cleanser for acne and Biore warming facial scrub every morning for blackheads (This stuff works. I notcied a DRASTIC difference in my blackheads being GONE within 2 weeks) . And then 3-4 day s a week I use Biore purging pore cream scrub. For body acne I use Neutrogena acne body wash I never break out on my body. It gets 110 in summer so sweat in inevitably, yet I never break out. Give it a try. All of it is cheap too. About $5-10 depending on what you buy! I think you will just need to experiment with products until you find what works for you. Remember, it can take 1 month for products to fully begin working! Good Luck!

How to Prevent and Treat Acne Scars



How to treat acne scars on back?


I have treated most acne from my back. I have mostly red dots from old acne. Is there a way to make it go away faster? I am not sure what to use.

I have the same thing! Just use any old acne clearer and it will help! The clearer won't take it all away, but it will clear some of it.
Hope that helped! :P
P.S. Clean and clear has an acne mark eraser, i've never tried it, but it might work! :P
