I have recently got off roaccutane (a.k.a accutane) a few weeks ago. My spots have have cleared up. I have red marks left over but they will fade with time. But what is really annoying me is when I look at my forehead in bright light I see bumps/rolls. I didn't know what this was until I searched it up and they are known as 'rolling scars' which barely fade/don't fade over time. These scars aren't THAT bad and can only be seen in light but its still annoying. I would say that these scars are mild/shallow and are only located in the center of my forehead. What treatment do you recommend for these rolls? I heard Subcusion is quite good. Thank you for your time and for your responses.
Since you just got off tane you probably shouldn't be doing anything for at least 6 months, since it can impair healing and you could end up with more scars.
But otherwise:
- you can stamp at home
- how many you'll need depends on depth and distribution of the scarring
- you can use a retinoid to stimulate collagen and minimize the appearance of scar tissue.
