Acne came out of no where for me destroying all of my confidence. Im usually a strong hearted person who can get through anything but this was the thing that destroyed me for a time. Now im on accutane and its going really well i mean i no longer get spots. Now its redness and scarring i worry about. Id like to know how bad you guys find it and how much improvement ill see. Thank you!

Pay no mind to the people who call you stupid.

 

I have a similar situation. A couple months ago, Acne blind-sided me as well. It left me with scars under my jaw-line.

The good news is that your scars aren't as bad as mine. The bad news is they are in a more exposed place.

Accutane reduces the amount of oil that your face produces. This won't help your scars, but it can prevent future break-outs.

If I were you, I would switch to something besides Accutane for your scars. However, keep it around since it can prevent more Acne.

Good Luck.

Naw, no pics. After the redness they will probably be about 1/2 to 3/4 as noticeable. I actually looked in the mirror this morning and noticed about half of mine have lost the redness. Trust me, it looks allot better. I'm just thankful that I got marks and not scars.

 

I use AHA and Aveeno (oil free) sunscreen to treat my marks. It might work for you too.

 

The Aveeno sunscreen has Vitamins A, C, & E. So it will help nourish the skin.

Ahh sounds promising! I would say the redness makes it look a lot worse. How bad would you say the scarring is honestly? Ahh im happy for you sounds like your getting your confidence back! Ohh i see would you say the aveeno product contributed to your redness improving quicker?

Sorry if the 3/4 has mislead you at all. To put more clearly, it may reduce the appearance of scars by a factor of 1/4 to 1/2 in the given time frame.

 

To be honest about your scarring, I would rate it at about Moderate.

 

The aveeno especially helps if the acne scar is still somewhat early in the healing process.
