i have nothing to say to you the more i comment the more popular this thread becomes . people stop replying to this thread or any of her threads until she stops posting .
i have no sympathy when you when yu whine cry and waste your life over 1 scar . are you trying to make the rest of us feel worse about ourselves ?
- this is where scarredandsad says i bet you wouldnt want a huge disfiguring scar on your face!-
you have probably the worse case of BDD I HAVE ever seen

The doctor supposedly subcised the scar right before he filled it. Unfortunatly, the scar is too wide and the forehead is a very difficult spot to fill. It looked like a worm/keloid right after the filler. Then it just turned into a lumpy mess.
this is also the same doctor that lied to me and told me 2 microneedling sessions would be all I need. Well, 2 sessions later, and my scar actually looks wider.
I don't understand why microneedling is allowed to be promoted as a scar treatment. I guess it's all about the Benjamin's.

I have had therapists tell me that they can see my scarring from across a room (with no bad overhead lighting) and that I do not have BDD. That in fact, I have a visual difference that has and will get comments.
What I have is technically called an ongoing adjustment disorder, because I do not want to accept having a visual difference. That along with severe depression, anxiety, and social anxiety, which are all very common on this forum.
I'd like to see what your face looks like and what kind of mental suffering you're going through. Oh wait, you hide behind a fake screen name while spewing insults because you don't have the guts to expose yourself. Grow the hell up!
OKAY let's step back, breathe, and calm down. Listen, if 'ScarredandSad34' sees her scar in such a bad light, who are we to judge? It's obvious that it's affecting her life JUST AS BADLY (if not worse) than those of us who suffer with acne scarring.
Let's all be mindful of the suffering we all face, individually. Don't judge based on pics bc you don't know the personal hell each of us goes through or has went through.
SAS34isajoke, we're all here to find answers and support. I totally get what you're saying and where you're coming from, but it's not the right approach.
"I don't understand why needling is allowed to be promoted as a scar treatment. I guess it's all about the Benjamin's."
This is a perfect example of your narcissism. Have you not seen the success from many others who Dermastamp like Remicade and DC Girl? You believe that just because you didn't find success with the treatment, that it shouldn't be successful for anyone else. If it doesn't work for you, it's totally useless!
You also posted that scarring cannot be fixed so don't pay for your doctor's vacation. Why do you try new treatments after bashing people for trying to improve their scars? It's counter productive and hypocritical. Don't keep asking posters for scarring advice and then lash out at people in the scarless healing thread.
You are very disrespectful.
Good luck to you.
2 minutes ago, SAS34isajoke said:i dont believe a word you say scarredandsad all you do is lie .. your " scarring "? you do know scarring means you have multiple scars not one tiny one
i have facial scarring from an accident. how is that a lie? Even thought it's technically 1 scar, it goes way deeper than an acne scar and I actually have more scarred skin (cumulative) than some of the posts I see here. Not all, but some.I can't even raise my eyebrow properly. That's more disfiguring then a few acne scars that actually can respond to treatment.

Remicade and DC girl supposedly did their own needling. They did not blow several hundred dollars at a doctors office using some dermapen garbage that I have yet to see any real results from. And I'm not just talking about myself. Everyone Ive come across that gets dermapen done on realself and even here for scars has had little to no improvement.
the scars cannot be fixed comment was wrong and I do apologize for that. I am just very jaded, bitter, and frustrated that nothing is working for me. But I shouldn't take away hope from others. You are right, that was wrong and I sincerely apologize for that.
as for the scarless healing thread, I still think it is a pointless frustrating waste of time to obsess about treatments that are not even real.
scarredandaad , do you know how many people suffer from scarring in real and debilitating ways or is it all about you and your one scar ? your life is over at 33? most of us would die for your skin. instead we suffer from a disease since 13 years old and pray when we wake up there arent new blemishes to cause additional scarring

Believe me, I understand how acne scarring causes suffering. Don't you think I get that more than anyone else who has blemish free skin?? I didn't get it before my accident, but I understand now! I understand the pain and trauma of not being able to remove something from your face. I understand what it's like to be paranoid to enter a room with harsh lightening. I know the feeling of sadness and worthlessness when I catch a glimpse of scarred skin in a mirror/reflection. No, I did not take the same path as you and I've never had acne, but Now I am scarred and I get it!
do you know what it's like to have your face bashed in? To not be able to even move your forehead? And do you know what it's like to have your face cut into while you're lying wide awake on an operating table? On two separate occasions? Then to watch a scar exicision slowly fail before your eyes?
this pic was taken 4 weeks after my accident. 4 weeks of healing and it still looked horrible. And this was before the scar started to widen and spread.
I am not posting this picture to get sympathy. I'm just showing that I'm equally as traumatized over a bad face problem.
Scarredandsad34, I just want to say this to you.
I understand that your scar caused and causes you a lot of physical and psychological pain and suffering, but the way you came onto the message board, claimed that your life was over, and that you were extremely disfigured, was disrespectful to a lot of posters who have endured severe acne and the scarring that ensues. It made many of us feel even worse about our situation.
While acne can be traumatic, your isolated incident is quite different and so is the scar that followed. Perhaps a message board more focused on traumatic injuries would be more your niche.
You said that a doctor claimed that you had muscle damage done to your forehead, and there was really nothing that can be done. It seems as though you've tried almost every type of treatment, so the only thing that I can think of is dermastamping at home for the next couple years.
I know it's very hard to hear this, but there is a real possibility your scar will never improve to the level you hope. I hope you can find peace eventually.

I am allowed to have the opinion that i have a horrible scar on my forehead. And it has reduced my quality of life. My suffering is awful and This is why I feel like my life is over. I'm really am sorry if I upset some people here, but the reality is I can't help it if others are internalizing my pain. I guess it's because I never had acne, but in the end, does that really matter? disfigurment is disfigurement. And how does the way I feel about my face have anything to do with how someone else feels about their face?
there is no forum for traumatic facial injuries that focus on scar treatments. As you know, this medical area is vastly under supported. That is why I am here, because I am seeking treatment just like you are.
And I thought I was nuts over my acne scars. You guys are crazy.
Was BA banned? I notice his icon is removed and some of his posts were deleted. I hope not. He had a lot of up to date info and is an asset to this board. Its people like him that keep me coming back here.

Yeah I admit I'm very distraught and my scar has caused mental illness. But please don't judge. Quan, you are one of the more level headed people here and I appreciate that you haven't insulted me like a few others have. Just please don't go there now. I am trying to get better with therapy and meds.
As for BA, control panel said he was demoted, not banned. If he is going to abuse his moderator priveleges and create fake screen names to insult and humiliate people, he has no business being a moderator. I saw that he abused scarsfade too, and that's not right. A moderator should be unbiased, not a cause of more tension.
i think he's just throwing a hissy fit because he got demoted, and he's going through and deleting all his content to prove a point. He's still logging in and active. But instead of just punishing the senior moderators, he's punishing all of the people on this forum that used his resources/advice. If this is true, It is manipulative behavior and he was clearly on a power trip by posting all of those links. He isn't trying to sincerely help anyone, otherwise he wouldn't have deleted all of his content when he got in trouble for violating the forum.
Im not all that level headed. Im able to be rational when Im in an environment where I dont feel like anybody will judge me for my scars, on or offline. Though Ive done some crazy and bad things to people irl when Ive felt like they devalued me because of it. Ive vented off some crazy shit on this website before too.
You scar doesnt look bad at all in the OP, but I can see how noticeable it is in the others you posted. Scars are particularly frustrating when they make it difficult to make facial expressions that youre used to and Im sure you can relate to that. Its not all about being beautiful, but being able to communicate effectively. At least for me anyway. Regardless, I still wouldnt consider you "disfigured". Im not sure what your biggest concern is. Is it men? If you really look like Penelope Cruz most guys wont care about the scar. Ive been around enough guy talk to know.
But yeah this thread is some other shit. I really dont care if BA created that username, is or isnt a mod. I just hope he hangs around and keeps posting the latest info.

Thanks for understanding. I really do feel like anytime I talk or make a facial expression it looks disfiguring. Dynamic scars are the worst. I booked an appointment to see a highly reputable dermatologist about laser resurfacing. The office has all kinds of lasers, not just one. I really hope I don't make it worse, but I am at a loss and need to try something else. Microneedling is not going to help me, I'm afraid. I have already tried one laser treatment (erbium 1540) and it did nothing but screw up my filler even more. Initially I thought it caused fat loss, but I think my accident actually caused that. The plastic surgeon that did this laser was not a laser expert, so I'm going to am office that specializes in lasers, treats MOHs, ect.
BeautifulAmbition's heart is in the right place and, like QH said, is a great asset to the community. But on this occasion he/she may have been a little tactless. We're all human and we ALL make these types of mistakes...so I'm sure this can be a case of letting bygones be bygones.
Scarred/Sad34, tbh when I first heard about your scar issue, I was a little...curious. But when I saw the pic you posted I was initially perplexed at the gravity of your despair from a head scar. You have to understand the reason why so many of us are/were troubled...and even insulted, by your hopelessness and misery. The vast majority (if not all) of us are here bc of acne scarring; something that covers our faces and other problematic areas. When you entered the fray with the issue you had, you basically threw us a curveball with your story.
But trust me I am empathetic towards you bc your mental and emotional state is currently in dire straits. You see yourself in the same light as many of the members with acne scarring do...so it is the same plight.
But just avoid taking things personally when stumped members initially question your despair; it's just atypical for someone with your case to be on the forum. Hope this clarifies some things, and good luck finding a laser that works for you

Thank you. I admit I can be too dramatic. I really am sorry if my sometimes erratic behavior stresses others out. This has just been a complete nightmare, I am beyond frustrated, and I don't see an end in sight.
This isn't the first time that BA has acted inappropriately to me. He has called me names such as pretty princess, trust fund baby that lives in a bubble, narcassist, told me to "go watch pyscho drama queen while my BDD blows up and I smash all of the mirrors in my house". Just some really mean and hateful things. It's immature behavior and he should not be a moderator of this forum if he treats people that way.
Ive been guilty of ranting, raving, and swearing, when I see a post that I don't agree with. And I have let my depression/hopelessness bring others down. And that is wrong. But I don't attack others personally with a vengeance to make them feel like shit.
Also wanted to share this story that I stumbled across. This poor kid is more disfigured than all of us combined. Yet he has a better attitude than all of us combined.
I don't know how he does it.
I really feel for you, regardless of how bad or not bad your scar is to be in that frame of mind which may i add you sound like me is horrible and i wouldnt wish it upon anyone.
Hi guys. I wanted to chime in here. We do not have definite proof of anything. To be honest, I may have handled this the wrong way and I feel bad. I am extremely protective of this site and had a knee jerk reaction to a moderator potentially violating my trust. However, I believe strongly in being innocent until proven guilty and I should have reached out to beautifulambition and done all the investigation I could have done before taking action.
I am looking more deeply into this now but I don't want anyone jumping to conclusions like I did. I will look into this more and let you guys know if I find anything concrete. In the meantime I'd like to apologize to beautifulambition. I'll keep everyone posted.
Yesterday, I realized who created the fake account. This personalso stood by silently while BA got falsely accused. I reported themimmediately.
BA, I'd like to apologize for thinking it was you. I sincerely hope you come back.
I have no hard feelings @scarredandsad34 & I want to thank you for saying that! Its a new me 100% about sharing info and faq to help others.
