In Topic: Hope And Information For Scar Healing From An Attack Victim

14 May 2013 - 11:31 AM

I just ordered liquid beta glucan and I'm gonna give it a try.

 

Just wanted to say that based on the pictures I've seen, your scarring is extremely mild and doesn't take away from your looks at all. Your skin looks good to me and I wouldn't be concerned about it if I were you. If you have trouble dealing with the scarring emotionally, you should try to get some professional help. I know scarring can be very hard to accept, even if it is very insignificant objectively speaking. Dermarolling every 4-8 weeks and just letting your skin heal and trying not to stress or worry about it sounds like a good option re:treating your skin. Good luck!


In Topic: 3 Year Old Red Bump On My Nose

I would guess it's a hypertrophic scar, but I'm not very familiar with those so don't just count on my word. If it is a hypertrophic scar, silicone gel or a silicone sheet could help with the colour and flattening it.

That's interesting. Can you post a picture? I'm sorry I can't help you, I don't  have experience with red marks. Most of my hyperpigmentation is more brown/gray anyway and it usually fades in a few months. Does it look like broken capillaries to you? I would think some sort of laser could help with that.


In Topic: Airgent Treatment Diaries

no_hope u better hurry up because the doc told me that airgent wont be in service in a while. And acnescar you should see results after  6 months. I did airgent and needling to my skin and everything except few icepicks look great!

Why won't it be in service? Are they just temporarily running out of Airgent or are they stopping completely?


In Topic: You Want To See Cortisone Atrophy? I'll Show You Atrophy.

I'd push for saline injections. I was reading about cortisone dents a few weeks ago (not very intensely though, since it didn't concern me personally), and I read that saline can "wash out" the leftover kenalog in the indent, so that it would stop affecting the skin and the skin would return to normal (even after several months, if I understood correctly). And they're probably okay during Accutane. I would think it has a good chance of filling in since the atrophy isn't really caused by scarring but just a physical hormonal response to the cortisone. But well, do some research on the forum and elsewhere and try to get saline injections. Good luck and keep us posted :)
