My advice? Quit trying to explain yourself. You shouldn't have to.

I'd guess they think the scarring is there to stay and you getting too focused on it might just make you unhappy and not live your life to the fullest. But you should do whatever you feel like you must, as long as you research the risks of the procedures you're considering and don't let scarring or treatments disturb your life too much (besides downtime). Ultimately we all have to accept our scarring and move on, but that doesn't mean we couldn't get some improvement and make it look better and more tolerable first.

Dont worry. Suppot your own self .

40 days of orange juice fast gives new skin(a person here said that a 21 fast on water gave new skin over her ice pick scar so they diminished).

Avocado works on atrophic scar.Its the only thing that has avogen in it.

You can try UNREFINED avocado oil as well. Also there is a mask that you mash 1/2 of avocado with 1 teaspoon of sunflower oil.

I have seen testimonial of jojoba/castor oil mixed 50/50 and then cover with plastic wrap(i have doubts on the toxins of plastic wrap

so if someone can find an alternative or biologically organic wrap please inform me)mbut i have tried it and it has weird cleansing effects.

Avocado is the stuff you wanna try. Good luck.

Thats my support to you

Ehm, where have you got these ideas? Orange juice doesn't give anyone new skin. Even eating blackcurrants with a much higher vitamin C content than orange juice or taking vitamin C supplements will not do anything to your scars. If your scars are still healing or you've been through treatments that have stimulated collagen remodeling, then getting enough vitamin C is important, but it doesn't do miracles. Please stop posting untruthful claims and back up whatever you say will work for scars with proper sources. Thank you.

You talk about supplementing but i talk about fasting=abstinence from food .just OJ drinking 0.5-1 L a day.

Do you want me to post 10 links of water and oranje juice fasting diminishing scars as the acids are being expelled from the body ,and health restores

back to normal?

Fitsr of all ,you have to feel LOVE.

Second,please try raw avocado on a scar that is not difficult and dont thank me but thank avocado itself.

I am here to spread love and methods that work.You talk with a kind of hate that is counter productive to any healing method.

I know stuff happen in life and make us like that,but we are here to support each other.

Hey panos,

Have you tried anything of the procedures you have suggested?

If yes, what did it do? Effects? Side effects?

Thank you.

Also, the avocado thing.

What does it do?

I think it is easy enough for me to try.

Any post or articles about avocado filling up an atrophic scar?

Hello,

With fasting it is possible but not guaranteed.

Try researching fasting. You'll be suprised how big it impacts your WHOLE body especially when fasting for more than 2 weeks. But ofcourse, anything that can do big things comes with big risks.

i know, its like we're crazy for wanting to have normal skin and the common reply from family and friends is "just get on with it, why are you talking about it so much"

do what you can and be strong but be very careful not to jump into anything, surgery for skin is not an easy way out and it can create more problems but theres always hope , nobody can take that from us

@Aghhne http://www.food.com/recipe/avocado-mask-for-all-skin-types-41579

All my acne scars have healed, and this is after the dermo told me I'd have to pay thousands to have collegen injections to fix the scars!

Personally i have tried it on one brown like scars ,it was a bit atrophic,small,then it became flat but the colour was still there and now it is fading

with putting raw avocado(its like you put the raw green butter of it,you will see you cant go wrong).

Cheers.

Re fasting,i would like if you could educade me ,since i dont know so much about it.

i think they will never understand that, scars destroy the soul , life ,relationships and happiness ,if i have ability to give them my face for just one day , they will understand all the story !!, my advice for you ,fight for the thing that will make you happy , i know that may be you need money from them to doing treatments like what i face here, but if not , you still alive , you have good mind (i think long term living with scars gave us wisdom ) so you can make a money and fix your scars , i hope the best for you with next treatments .

I got info on my thread. Look for it in my content. It is called "alternate day fasting" although now im thinking of fasting for a week since fasting for only a day only has minor effects but no risk. Anyways you can read it there. I also posted articles there and some people posted some articles too that were very helpful.

Ill be trying the avocado. Nothing to lose with a harmless avocado

You have no idea how enraging it is for some of us to read claims like this when we have been to hell and back with our skin. If people could get new skin just from drinking orange juice and using avocados, they would. It would be widely known and super popular - but it doesn't work. As much as I am for "natural" treatments whenever possible, scarring just isn't one of them. What you are doing and have done is instilling false hope into people looking for any chance at nice skin. If you have before and after photos, it would sincerely help - but I'm guessing you do not have any. Sorry if that came across as aggressive.

Two beliefs are going to change in your life when you start see results .

The first: ''They must know what they are doing'.

The secod: '' If there was something that has worked,we would have know it by now''.

Cheers.Try your avocado.It has avogen ,only found in avocado.The ingredient of 302 skin care products line.

http://theskincarerevolution.wordpress.com/2011/02/05/a-safe-and-sensible-approach-to-correcting-acne-scars/

My Holy Grail of scar repair has to be this: 302 products with Avogen in conjunction with ultrasound and needling techniques. The Avogen is a safe and effective ingredient that softens the skin and increases cell renewal. I can honestly say that this has been the only thing which I could use long-term and see dramatically visible results. I had 80% improvement in the first year, and now I would estimate it is 95% improvement after 5 years

She says she has 98% improvement after 8 years and the women is like 60 or something.You can check it.

Good luck.Avocado is the stuff.

Who are these people who keep coming on here with the ridiculous home remedies? Please stop hijacking these threads and diminishing the quality of these boards. Stop with the urine, avocados, and lemon juice already.

Tracy, I would forget about trying to get support from other people. Unfortunately this is not a pretty subject, and it makes people uncomfortable to talk about it. People are especially unsympathetic when it comes to acne scarring because it is not something you see very often, particularly severe acne scarring. I know first hand how hard it is and how people do treat others poorly because of a visible difference. I agree that it is oftentimes these same people who freak out over one blemish, but can dismiss your suffering caused by acne scars. Forget the naysayers and start looking out for #1.

I don't know how old you are, but if you say you've been suffering from cystic acne for years and your parents didn't intervene in some way, I would seriously doubt they would suddenly start taking an interest in your care. I had horrible cystic acne during my teens and my parents did nothing to help me.

Hi Panos, I have been doing a mini-fast of late, and I can see that it has helped my overall skin texture too...I will do this a few days per week only though....I may, however, do a proper 10 day fast in the near future....

i.e. The last few days, I have been skipping breakfast & lunch & I'm only eating dinner...for example, during the day, I drink a variation of the Master Cleanse drink e.g. hot water + raw leatherwood honey + fresh lemongrass + fresh ginger + fresh lemon juice and wedge + cayenne pepper ....so far so good....

I will however, start to include a fasting cabbage soup for breakfast & lunch on days I don't fast...I will do this for the next week or two....

My fasting cabbage soup will contain: hot water + fresh tomato + fresh cabbage + cayenne pepper + salt + pepper (possibly peas for protein) + carrots/ and or sweet potato + turmeric + dried thyme..and if I want an extra kick, I'll add curry powder ....( and on rare occasions, possibly a teaspoon of hummus).

PS I've decided on this version of the fasting cabbage soup: hot water + fresh tomato + fresh cabbage + cayenne pepper + salt + pepper peas + sweet potato + turmeric + dried thyme + broccoli + red onion + cajun spice..( and on rare occasions, possibly a teaspoon of hummus).

Tracy521,

Just focus on your own wellness, healing & happiness. You don't need to convince anyone & you don't need any person's external validation of yourself or your choices...yes, you can love your family & friends...but if you feel they use toxic words in your presence and make you feel bad about yourself, steer clear of them as much as possible, at least until they start to treat you right - otherwise, keep your distance from them as much as possible or only be in their presence for a short duration of time (and don't share your thoughts with them if you feel they will not give you true loving support or sincere helpful advice)...toxic relationships/ emotions should NEVER be tolerated whether they include/ are induced by 'family members' or 'friends'...instead love such people at a distance & protect your own wellness, mental health & self-worth AT ALL COSTS DON'T GIVE ANY PERSON THE POWER TO TAKE AWAY YOUR HOPE OR SELF-WORTH!!! Yes, you can still be respectful to such people, and yes, you can love them, but you don't need to listen to their negative twaddle....

So go out & explore....focus on attaining your personal life-goals & find your true life-affirming "soul tribe" i.e. surround yourself with people/ activities/ animals/ thoughts that boost your wellness, joy, peace, security, place in this world, hope, faith, self-belief & self-esteem. All the best!!

PS You WILL heal your skin 100%. Just keep experimenting with various mesotherapies/ key topicals until you get the results you desire

Ugh, this is exactly what everyone on this topic has been talking about! Why are you doing this? Honestly, it's like a "medium" taking advantage of people grieving the loss of a loved one - people are vulnerable when they're looking for answers and desperate to believe anything.

I'm going to lay out the truth for the people looking to heal their scars: they might not ever go away completely - ever. Acne scars are notoriously difficult to treat. There are things you can do to really improve the appearance of them, but healing 100% is really difficult. Also, it's a slow process. It can take up to a year to start showing serious improvement. Finally, you have to treat acne scars relatively aggressively: lasers, copper peptides, skin needling (dermarolling/subcision), and Retin-A come to mind. No diet change will get rid of your acne scars, no massaging, and certainly no avocado or lemon juice. Do not believe anything until you see actual picture proof.

Putting medicals in your face is damaging the body cause they are not ''real'' otherwise they would not be medical medicines.

Putting nature in your face,rejuvenates it.

Hello,

Im not here to start a fight or anything.

I do think what you are saying has some truth in it. But there are people whose scars have filled up on their own without doing anything. I've searched for them and pmed them privately just to know their story. Given it is a shallow scar i do think it is possible to fill it up without requiring aggresive treatments cause if what you are saying is true then all the people i messaged and talked to SHOULD have done something aggresive to their shallow acne scars but they DiDNT.

Sure deep/thick/wide/severe scars do need aggresive procedures like my dogbite scar hence i do not expect ANY home remedy to eradicate it. I think we all are desperate or atleast a lot of us are desperate to remove our scars.

The home remedies like the avocado, to be honest, i dont have high expectations of it BUT trying it wont do any harm so why not? Why not try it and evaluate the results and ONLY then can you say from your own experience that it doesnt work.

People make choices and decisions. We are responsible for what we do.

We will get disappointed at times but that doesnt mean we have to lose hope.

People get disappointed because they always have high expectations like something will miraculously make their acne/scar disappear.

I do think that the fasting is something You need to REASEARcH THOUROUGHLy as i have done. I have even went to scientific sites where a normal person woudnt understand scientific terms used in the article. Yes fasting CAN (NOT GUARANTEED) make a big impact but as we all know, those that can do big has big risks. If you research fasting, it can cause death if not properly breaken.

The thing that bothered me about what you said is that you are saying that ALL scars(shallow and deep) CAN ONLY Be eradicated with aggresive treatments like it is the only way and nothing else will work. That statement is very powerful and can upset some.

I have spent weeks researching about scar treatment and REVIEWs/PerSoNaL experiences and have read scars filling in without doing anything but takes months or even a year. Some also eradicate their scars by just chemical peels not the strong ones. I am very sure that their scars werent deep though. They mentioned that.

Please dont read this thinking i am angry at you. Im just disappointed. I hope all goes well with the path you have taken.

Unfortunately i am not blessed with money to be able to get treatments like lasers and such plus the risk just scares me a lot.

To people reading this or who have read home remedies, think logically and always research reasearch reasearch. Weigh the risk and the benefits. KNOW the risks.

Hey there,

I didn't mean to come across as aggressive in my post, but I am frustrated to say the least with a lot of the misinformation being spread around online about scarring. You're absolutely correct: your skin can heal on its own. But it is strongly suggested to wait at least 6 months after your acne has left before you begin scar treatments - once that time's up, the improvement you're likely to see isn't a whole lot (especially for deeper scars - the people who will most want scar treatments in the first place).

Why do I have a problem with natural treatments? Because lemon juice, avocados, fasting and the like have little to no scientific evidence behind them - in fact, they can be detrimental to your skin. If someone wants to try something just for the sake of trying it then I see no problem with that. But I'm sure we've all been in a position where we've read online "I did such and such and everything is alright now!" and it didn't do anything...and it's extremely frustrating.

I don't think there really are any truly non-aggressive scar treatments that actually make a big improvement. That being said, I did say relatively aggressive and not all the treatments are as invasive as lasers. You mention chemical peels working, but chemical peels can be very dangerous if not done correctly. TCA is the most effective one for scar treatment and it is extremely dangerous if done at home - and even more dangerous at higher percentages that you really need to see improvement. You also have to keep in mind that a lot of the scar "improvements" are actually just lightening hyperpigmentation or changes in texture - not actual scar improvement. Just my opinion. If I saw real, marked improvement from naturopathy/homeopathy/anything like that, I would be much more likely to be a "believer" - but there isn't any proof from what I've seen and all the dermatologists I've talked to agree.

hello again everybody! i want to thank you all for your kind words!! i really appreciate it. just a little more info about myself i am 36 and married and am paying for everything myself. i did a microlaser peel a month ago and it helped some of my indents and made my skin tone look a lot better. i am getting an ipl today to get rid of the last of the red marks then i will see about doing another microlaser peel (much deeper this time) for the raised scarring. as strange as it sounds the indented scarring doesnt bother me as much as the raised scarring. it just looks so very odd especially with it being on my chin its very hard to explain but its not a good look. i spend a lot of time every single morning trying to cover it up but it just doenst cover very well which is really upsetting. i have cried about this so many times its ridiculous. i try to be positive every single day and be happy that i have my hubby and so many amazing family and friends. i have had the raised scarring for about a year and the indented scarring for almost 6 months now. in the past all my indented scarring filled in over time so if it does it this time it would be great but if not i can live with that. what i cant live with is the raised scarring so i am going to try 1 more microlaser peel (with the erbium laser) and if that doesnt work then go straight for the c02 laser in the fall. i saw a great plastic surgeon in my area that has a great resume and does the co2 laser all the time and has good success with it. i know that this can take a very long time so i am just trying to be patient and optimistic about everything. it just gets hard when everybody isnt on the same page as you. its like i am not trying to have a smaller nose or a more defined chin i just want to look like my old self again. you would think that would be such an easy thing to explain to people but for some reason they just dont get it. i dont even bring it up most of the time so i think that is what irritates me the most. thank you all for your encouraging words though and for being real and honest. i really appreciate it.
