You could get it revised.
Excision to cut it out, stitch it up... you'll have a line scar in place of it. Best to talk to a plastic surgeon.

 
Won't that result in getting a certain tension in the skin there? I don't know, I'm not a surgeon but it seems hard to get rid of a scar like that.
 
Best thing to do is to make your peace with it, if you ask me.
 
It doesn't look bad. I'm sure most people will agree with me on that.

Well, maybe not a straight stitch. They have other ways, and they know more about making scars less visible... they do it for a living. You shouldn't have to accept something that bothers you if you dont first seek your options. I am no doctor,  or surgeon... thats why I said to go see one.

Not the same scar, but a scar nonetheless. Bigger, but the after picture is great.

Yes, you could try fillers. But I put my opinion in. I wouldnt want to do fillers because they're temporary,  and the scar is still there. The same. Just lifted.

Well, for my scars... I had found a snail in my yard, and I put it on my face, and let it crawl around. After reading some thing about the slime they excrete has the ability to repair damages.

Yep.

“Out of suffering have emerged the strongest souls; the most massive characters are seared with scars.”


Just heard that quote, and I can relate with both my physical and emotional/psychological scars. We'll make it through.

(:

This is interesting. Is it the same for after results for dermarolling?
Or if a scar gets better over time?
It can't exactly detract from where it has improved, I don't think...
BUMP

Thanks. That really does help. I've had a few other people tell me the same, but sometimes mistakes we've made are hard to look past, especially if they're looking you in the mirror. I think I may print your reply out because it has really said a lot, and I don't want to forget it with my over obsessive thoughts on the things I hate. Thanks doll (:

I've never been officially diagnosed with BDD but there are signs that I might have tendencies.

On the one hand, despite thinking that I look revolting myself, my doctor claimed that my skin was a little dry but that my scars and acne weren't bad enough for treatment. Along with this, my friends and family are always saying that my skin problems are minor or that they can't notice much.

On the other hand, I see what I see in the mirror - flakes, oily skin, scars, spots - so how can I be so mistaken? I don't have much luck with women, either, and I don't think I have a horrible personality, plus I'm intelligent and ambitious, so I assume there must be something wrong with my looks.

It's really difficult to know what or who to believe.

I suppose this must be the challenge that all BDD sufferers face: Do I have a psychological disorder or am I truly ugly? Am I lying to myself about my appearance or are other people lying to spare my feelings?

I know exactly that feeling. My family does the same thing too. I have never seen you, but I can say that you probably aren't ugly at all. We tend to criticise and overlook things about ourselves, obsessively. Those with BDD, however; tend to view themselves as monsters, so I've heard. That's quite a criticism for yourself, to feel like you are, or look... monstrous. I think everyone in this world is a little crazy, and I also think everyone in this world is beautiful in their own way, and the ugly side tends to come more from within, from the darkest deepest depths of the human psyche and the human nature.
I know sometimes life is hard, but the best thing you can do is role with the punches. And if you do, if you push through all this hurt, one day, you'll look back and smile... and see all that you've done regardless of how you looked at the time. Our physical bodies are just our vessels in life. What matters is what we do with our lives. Now what would you have to show for in the end if all you did was worry about what everyone thinks of you, or how you look. Just live life day by day, you'll figure it out (:

Mild, definitely. You're really pretty, by the way (:

You have a beautiful soul, and I'm sure a face just as beautiful, with or without acne. Beauty is subjective, as well as it comes from within. And the only thing in this work that you can control is the way you act in a situation. Your choices. The choice to be happy (:
