Hi,

I had a cyst on the bridge of my nose early last year. It left a deep scar that hasn't got better since.

It's around 2 mm * 2 mm and the redness hasn't faded. I cover it with concealer but because it's deep it doesn't camoflage very well. I tried 100% glycolic acid in the past and it started to heal over somewhat, only for the new skin to fall off.

The picture below doesn't show the redness very well.

What could I use that will help?

hmm i dont think anything topically will help but just time is all. it should fill more in the next year or so but you could get filler in it for now. its not cheap but it should do the trick.

Your post reminds me of the acne spots that remain after a lesion has gone down. When it comes to stuff like these [like the above post said] I think time is really the only answer. However if you were really determined to quicken it up, try some sort of AHA's/retinoids.

Do you think so? It's been around 8 months to a year (can't remember) since I've had it and I've seen no visible improvements.

I think I'll try a glycolic peel again.

That is a deep scar and a glycolic peel isn't going to help. Subcision and maybe some low strength TCA peels will help.
