I am only 20 years old and my life has been ruined by acne scars, one in particular that is very unsightly. When I say scars, I'm not referring to tiny red marks. I'm referring to indentations. The smaller ones would be tolerable if it wasn't for this one. It isn't as deep as other acne scars I've seen, but it's very long, trailing all the way down my chin. I have been asked by a few people if someone cut me with a knife, so that gives you an idea of what it looks like. I would post a picture, but my phone is crappy and takes blurry pictures. I used to compete in pageants at a local level and now I can't even meet the physical requirements. Trying to cover the scar with makeup makes it look caved in, which is worse. I have literally spent thousands trying to treat my scar, which is really rough when I live paycheck to paycheck. The scar has been there since April and I've seen little to no improvement after multiple saline injections (I lost count after the fifth one or so), a few chemical peels, and a Dermapen treatment. This has put me in such a deep depression. People don't believe me when I say this is a harder experience for me than watching my father die when I was 15, but honestly it is. I've contemplated suicide and even attempted it once because of this scar. I cry myself to sleep every night over it. Sorry if my words are all over the place, I'm just running out of answers and didn't know where to turn to, so I finally made an account on here after spending the past seven months reading the forums without an account. I think we need to start some kind of revolution so the medical industry will get their stuff together and figure out a way to get rid of scars once and for all!
Can't blame you though. Scarring is also starting to scare me. It's all over my temples and cheeks. I feel sad.Everytime I would go get a haircut I can't look straight in the mirror because if I do Iknow l'll feel very bad and cry all day. But still I need to move on. You can do this!! Never give up!

I hope you got my support message. Good luck x
I'm so brutally honest that I find it difficult to lie and come up with some bad ass back story behind it. A guy I used to have a crush on asked me how it happened and I said "Trust me, you don't wanna know." I did get your support message, thank you so much. You are so kind.

It really sucks that we have to go through this. I have (very small) scars on my cheeks as well and they used to get me down but now that I have a massive one down my chin, the little ones on my cheeks look like nothing. Hopefully one day, technology will advance far enough to help us both.
I do not have idented scars but PIH. But that can not even be treated in ,y country sooooo...everywhere I go I am pretty much looked down on and discriminated against. It is not fair but it is life. I can not get a decent job because of it...I look badly burned. And on top of it all as a woman you are expected to be perfect and I am not. Anyways my life is crap...I tried to commit suicide and failed miserably. Hang in there you will get through this.

It's horrible what we have to go through. I also tried to commit suicide and failed. As bad as this sounds, I hope one day I'll be successful.
Please please don't contemplate suicide. Earlier this year I was suicidal due to my acne, and although I feel much better, every now and then I'll have a day or a week where I think about it again. But please believe me.. Things will get better.
I appreciate your courage, and when you told your crush "you dont wanna know" about how your scar happened... Ahaha xD love it!
Take the fact someone asked you as a compliment! It probably doesn't look like an acne scar which is why people ask - which means to then it just looks like a regular scar from an accident or whatnot. I have so many dents and scars on my face.. When I was a kid I fell on a lot of things (including a fork - aha!).
I know it's hard to believe but I'd kill to worry about scars and to ignore acne 
like someone said you've beat the acne you can beat this! you've only had it since april which isn't long - skin can take a while to repair from treatments
