Hello

 

About 15 years ago I got some huge acne nodules inbetween my eyes. Back then I was young and had no clue about scarring so I was very rough with them. Now my skin has aged and I am left with three very deep pits. Is there any treatment available? I am desperate to see a dermatologist or plastic surgeon, but there are only a few in my town and I am very isolated. I actually have sever acne scars all over my face, but these ones bother me the most due to their location.

Thank you.

Have you looked into TCA CROSS? Feel like this would be the best treatment for your type of scar. Phenol CROSS would also be good if you can find a dermatologist that uses phenol. Lasers wont help until the scars are level with the rest of the surface,so dont fall for the sales pitch.

Thank you for your reply. The photos do not show it, but there is also some keloid scarring around these pits (which makes them look even deeper). Do you know if TCA cross will be safe if it comes into contact with the keloid scarring?

Not sure about that, but I would for sure ask the dermatologist if there's an issue with the treatment and keloid scarring.
