Hey aghhne, I was actually reading your older thread about tca cross on nose, then I see that you posted this today! How weird... Anyway, I too have an icepick scar on my nose that I'm very self conscious about (it's pretty big). It's even more depressing knowing that the nose area is the most difficult to treat ... I'm starting to lose hope. I'm considering excision but I know how risky and difficult it on the nose area. I'm curious what other methods you have tried. Anyway, I think the answer to your question has to do with the damage to the dermis from the inside as opposed to puncturing from the skin from the outside. I dunno, that's just my guess

Actually, nose piercings DO leave hypertrophic scarring on occasion. The key difference I suppose, is that acne is induced by bacteria infection and piercing is USUALLY sterilized first.

Muddying the whole thing up however, is the fact that people have different susceptibility to scarring or none.

So there you go.

Thanks! I will put into account your suggestions! 🙂

Yea im aware and i understand what you are saying. But ive searched through the internet, and yea people did have "bumps" but they were not permanent and were only a result of infection.

However ive read posts where people said that after theyve removed their piercings on their nose, the hole quickly shrunked and is very hard to see or even look for. And a lot said it disappeared. From what i understand, nose piercings go deep down the nose's skin so shoudnt there be more "damage"?

I am mystified..

Yea, but you know what sucks more? Having nose bumps(not acne, these were left after the cysts) that never leaves then having those icepick scars beside them. It's like magnified and compared. I want my old nose back 🙁 i feel depressed...

Hey, there have been success stories regarding nose "pits" treated by single needling. You can search it at owndoc's forums.

I just ordered single needles so it will be arriving after 1 to 2 weeks hopefully.
