hey, my name is jason.

 

So im from Melbourne,Asutralia and since 13 I was breaking out pretty bad. and since then I've been using products on my face in which led to my face being red/burnt not sure what it is but I seriously need help. Everyday I wake up and feel miserable, I dont even want to go school no more. It has been to a point where I just really hate my life and maybe considering to hurt myself, ( well not really but you know what I mean). so its not really acne its just brown/red/uneven skin tone maybe? so please help me out. I have a few bumps/whiteheads but Im not worried about that , just those burnt marks or whatever it is

Hi Jason. It looks like post inflamatory hyperpigmentation marks to me (there's a whole section on this on the main acne.org page - check it out). It should fade over time, but maybe you can help it along with an AHA?

 

I had a similar issue, and NeoStrata Pigment Lightening gel has sped the healing process along for me. I still have fairly uneven skin tone, but isolated spot marks now rather than big blotches of unevenness that I used to have (I "burnt" myself with pure strength tea tree oil at the height of my depspeartion - all faded away now).

 

Lemon juice works for some people. Burnt the living daylights out of me though.

 

 

Good luck :)
