An elderly lady at lunch today asked if I had been bruised on my right cheek. She said it looked like I'd been punched in the face. Then she said, "maybe it's sunburn". I said "it's my scarring" and she apologised, but the damage was done 
I haven't had any active acne on that cheek for about 8 years so all the hyperpigmentation is goine. I was in the sun a lot over the weekend and I was wearing "Dallas" by "Benefit" bronzer, but I wouldn't have thought it was enough to make me look like I'd been punched. I mainly have rolling and icepick scars. Can't work out why it should look like that
It's so disheartening when something like this happens. I remember once having a big cyst on my forehead and I had so many people asking if I'd hit my head on a door or something. Made me feel so much more self-conscious than I already did even though there was nothing I could do about it 
I guess we just have to remember that people say these things through ignorance not through any sort of malicious intent. Still makes you feel awful though!

Do it .Good luck with your new regenerated life.
That's one of those situations where I always think of what I should have said later, i.e. " You should have seen the other guy," All you can do is be thankful that this person was caring enough to take interest in your well-being. At least she meant well. Try growing up with a large port-wine stain birth mark that can't be covered up. Kids teased me all the time and they did not mean well! Acne made me even more popular and confident plus I never outgrew my acne. Maybe after menopause?? Anyway, be thankful for people who care enough to ask because the alternative might be nobody caring at all.
Bee4acne, I think the lady probably meant well...and your overall complexion looks really good...as for your scaring, that will heal 100% too with the right mesotherapy/ healthy diet/ lifestyle & key topicals....just remember your scar is temporary, and you WILL heal & have healthy skin in the very near future...so focus on that & just keep getting better & stronger each and every day...in the meantime, just take it slow & steady everyday, and learn to be relaxed, easygoing & hopeful about life in general....healing scars is a marathon event so don't sweat the small stuff....focus on your goals & not the obstacles...learn to be a wellness warrior & you'll become stronger & more resilient in the future as a result.... All the best!
