Acne is a problem I have learned to deal with and manage. When I see my acne I don't get too unhappy because I know in some time it will go away. However, when I see this scar, it makes every day a bad one. I need to know how to treat this scar, that is all I am concerned with right now.

The image I have uploaded is from about 6 months ago. From that time it has gotten much worse and the second scar in the image which looks like it is starting to form has already come out now. Why is this happening and how can I treat it?

I went to a derm at a walk in clinic awhile ago because I had been getting rashes on my face. I also wanted to know if I could treat this scar. She noticed the scar and the other breakage in my skin and said I should also use the cream for the rash to fix it. Well my rash has faded away now but it looks as if this cream has only made the scar worse.

Please help, I am in desperate need, I have been trying to fix this for about 3 years now.

Hey guys, I come here today to post on Acne.org about a little problem I'm having. First off I would like to say that my acne is completely cured thanks to absolutely no products besides water. The problem I've been having has stretched on for a very long and uneventful year. I did not realize that I've had this problem for so long until I came to these forums today and looked at my profile. I see a topic I made in July of 2006 about the same thing I will talk about in this post. Now I do not think that I explained this problem fully. I tried to pass it off as a facial stretch mark but doing so did not give me good response. So today I will try to explain it more thoroughly so that you may better understand it and hopefully give me a life changing response.

You see I have a mark... it resides on the left side of my face a little to the side of my nose and above my mouth. Right below the cheek. If I have a mustache it would be right above it. This mark is a slight discolor of the tone of my skin. When my face is stationary it is hard to notice in a dim lighted room but when it is bright as hell outside it is noticeable. If I slid my finger across my face it would feel normal but if I slid it across the mark back and forth it would feel like I am moving around a loose piece of skin. If possible, later on today I will try to take a picture of it with my digital camera and show you but right now all I can do is draw you a picture in the wonderfully program I call paint. Removing this mark will forever increase my confidence and help me do many things like get a job and maybe even increase my social skills.

How can you help me in your response?
- Help me find a common name for this mark.
- Help me find some research on it.
- Help me find a picture of someone else who has a similar mark (so I know I'm not alone)
- And most importantly, help me find a cure!

Also I will give you some additional information about myself. My acne is completely gone due to the fact I wash my face constantly with water and for this whole year I have drank mostly water. I have been loosing weight at a slow rate now and gaining muscle at a slow rate. I am giving you this info becuase I am considering it a possibility that water or weight loss may have caused it. Also I sometimes drink 9 bottles of water a day. (Is that bad!? My mom says 4 should be enough but I think she is just mad becuase I am guzzling her water down so fast.)

All responses are appreciated becuase I absolutely love you guys! You have helped me out many times since I registered three years ago and for that I thank you. Hopefully if I have time in the future I might try to post a thread about how I lost my acne because you guys deserve it.

Basiclly I have been loosing alot of wieght recently and building myself up but the problem is that I still have my acne, all over my body . Well with loosing wieght and working out comes strech marks. To tell you the truth I don't realy care about the non visable strech marks like under my arms and on my arms or around my stomach but recently I have gotten one strech mark on my face 0-0 to add to with my acne. My acne has been getting better, I can say I'm much satisfied with the way my face looks when looking back at old pictures, which are still hard to look at but still my pores are quite large. I think this is a problem because I have heard that strech mark removing products are ussualy very greasy and can block pores, this is bad becuase I have alot of big pores to fill up.

What I want to know if there is any safe soulution or if strech marks disapear by themselfs as I grow, I think that the question I would like answerd most becuase then I wouldnt worry as much about this.
