i am so glad to have found your forum. I am desperate. My skin, ravaged from severe cystic acne in 1983, has had dermabrasion, 3 full face co2laser trmts., skin grafting, and numerous peels, etc., yet, it is far from smooth. I am so upset. I would be considered attractive if not for these scars. I don't know if it's the procedural regimen or the md's skills that may have affected my outcome. I have two questions: 1. this exoderm, has it been effective in patients who've run the gammit of trmts.? and2. Is there not a way for medical insurance to cover these trmts./surgical procedures? If I'd gotten these scars going through a windshield, they'd be covered and not considered, "cosmetic?". Acne scarring is by no means, cosmetic, and I cannot believe it is still termed as such. Is there anything that can be done to help bring about a change in this perspective? I'll sign whatever form or petition to ammend this harsh and unfair treatment of patients with acne scarring.
