Hi guys it's been a while! I will be going into month 3 in 5 days. I don't know what's going on but I've got scars I never thought I had and it's making me feel awful. Not even having acne for a year and its ruined my face. So sad :( 

I'm sorry that you're going through a hard time with this. When you say you have scars, are they actual pock marks and indents, or are they really severe PIE/PIH from accutane making you red and sensitive? I have tons of the latter and it's tempting to think Wow, I'm super scarred but actually these pigment marks do tend to resolve within 6-12 months [PIE takes longer unfortunately]. It's not permanent. Also, even if you did have little pock marks here and there, I doubt anyone will see them, I promise. Everyone has flaws, wrinkles, etc...perfect skin is an illusion.

Hi. Thanks for your comment. On my right cheek is a group of indents and my left cheek ice pick and other wavy scars :/ I don't know what's going on the texture just looks awful and I'm scared.

Sure thing...did this appear after taking accutane - like did you get a super bad breakout and it left scars behind...? Or did the accutane make your skin look redder and pre-existing scarring look worse? I wasn't sure.

I know how you feel, its a real bummer to say the least and I cant seem to get over it. The daily insecurity is toxic and im young so I plan on doing my best to reduce my scars to the point that they no longer bother me. We are in this struggle together.
