Hi Guys,

 

I had acne for a solid 4-5 years when i was a teengager, it has gone away but as left holes on my face especially my forehead. Here are some pics (it looks worse than it does on camera) Pics below.

 

I was wondering what solutions or products should i be looking at to reduce these holes?

 

And what would you call them? Is it called acne scarring, acne holes or something else?

 

Cheers.

 

 

Image seems broken on my end, so I can't see anything. I think the term acne scarring is more commonly used ;p For treatment of scarring it depends on the type, but for "holes" or deep scarring I think the treatment is usually subcision or laser therapy.

Also just curious, how old are you? And how did you clear up your acne? Or did you just grow out of it?

Hi Garettryn,

Here's a link to the pic:

I'm 25, acne stopped when i took accutane when i was about 20/21.

that paticular kind is boxcar scarring. dermarolling might help. ive also been reading about msm creams.

Ok cool, any specific msm creams i should checkout?

The only cream you should consider applying is one that has been clinically evaluated and approved.

Pubmed.

And what you want is a tretinoin cream like retin-a.
