What's been the fastest method you've used to clear your scars?

Sorry for making another post so soon but it does not have that much to do with the other thread I've recently made and I don't want to add this as a reply to the other one just to have it be looked over and unanswered, because I need answers. quick!

Prom is on the 25th. I know there is absolutely no way I can clear my scars by then but I want to know how I can lighten them as much as possible in the next week! What creams/washes/lotions/etc. have worked fastest for you? I'm currently using Ambi Fade Cream. My scars are brown marks that seem to have been there for a really long time. Products that don't bleach clothes would be best (but pretty much everything does), but even if they do, recommend them anyway, and just tell me that they do bleach.

Or how I can cover them? Have you guys tried ways to hide your bacne scars for special occasions? Any really good body make-up someone can recommend?

but yeah, thank you, thank you so much. I'm so glad I found this forum. It's so great to know that I'm not alone.

from doxycycline to minocycline?

so i just finished a round of doxycycline, and last year it worked, but now that i've gotten back on it, it stopped working. i have a bottle of minocycline and do you think it's okay for me to start taking it even though i just finished two months of doxycycline like two days ago?

[i know that this is probably not the place to ask, but something with my insurance changed and now i can't go back to my old dermatologist :/ and i have to go to the doctor to get a referral to a new derm, but he's out until monday. what the hell.]

by the way.. solodyn = minocycline, right?

so, does this peeling-off-skin thing actually work?

[minus the star, because if i don't put in the star it won't let me see the link, don't know why.]

but yeah, has anyone actually tried this? i'm tempted to head over to walgreen's tonight and get that panoxyl stuff and try this for a week. i'm so desperate. this stuff bleaches clothes, i'm assuming? so i'll have to wear old t-shirts that i don't care for, for a week?
but yeah if you tried doing this, please post here and tell me how it went! were your bacne scars all gone? i'm pretty sure i'm going to start this tonight. does it hurt, or just itch? how would you keep from scratching?

Body acne scars have ruined me.

I posted this under the 'scar treatment' forum too, but I figured maybe you guys could relate better.

Body acne scars are completely ruining my life. I used to love warm weather but now I'm afraid of it because I can't wear anything cute because the majority of cute tops are back revealing. I have a ton of brown marks all over the upper part of my back, and recently I've gotten them in my cleavage. Gross. I haven't been anywhere in a bathing suit since June of 2006. It's now almost April 2009. I'll be on Facebook looking at pictures of friends at the beach, or winter formal, or prom, and it just KILLS me. I'm so scared because prom is coming up in about four weeks and I'm debating whether or not I should go because I'm so afraid. I haven't been to a single dance since high school started because of this. I could go and leave my hair down and that would help some but I'd still be SO paranoid the whole night that someone would see. I wouldn't have much fun. Please help me, this has destroyed me and I feel it's even worse because I'm a girl. I mean I see guys with body acne as normal because well, they're guys. And me being a girl, I'm supposed to be pretty and sophisticated and whatnot but instead, I have this disgusting monster ruining me. For gym, I change in the bathroom stall instead of the locker room like other normal girls and I turn down any offers to go shopping with friends because I KNOW they'll want to go try on dresses for upcoming dances. Recently, I just went prom dress shopping alone, and I felt so great about myself in a bunch of dresses but then I'd look at my back scars and scars in my cleavage, and everything was just ruined. I just want to feel beautiful, and I want to feel like a normal girl.


Please, please help me find a way to fade my scars. I've done microdermabrasion once and it did not help much. Prom is coming up and I just want to go and look gorgeous in my dress and have a fancy dinner and ride a limo and have the night of my life and be like any other normal teenage girl. I just want to feel whole again.



And it's not just prom, although I did put extra emphasize on prom. I want to eventually get on the beach/pool again, and not look stupid changing in the bathroom stall instead of the locker room like everyone else, and wear cute clothes and not have to dress like a boy in t-shirts 24/7. I even drop out of plays in theatre at school because of the costumes they assign me. It's so ridiculous.
