Hi guys
I've had acne since I was about 10 and I'm honestly so done with it. I haven't gotten any zits in a while due to exercising and eating well but my scars are really bad. They are so red and it looks like I have a face full of pimples but they're just scars. I can't leave the house without makeup and my derm suggested accutane back in September when she saw me. However now that I don't have that many pimples, will accutane even help the scars?
Acne has caused my depression to worsen and this fall I'm starting university and can't bear to go to school with this face. What will help my scars fade? I've had this crap for 8 years and I'm at my wits end.
Will microdermabrasion help?
I don't think accutane will help with your scars. Scars will heal with time, which definitely will not be overnight. What you want to do is get your skin cell turnover rate to increase. New cells will replace the old and the top layer will fall out.
Search glycolic acid, I hear it works wonders.
If you have NO active acne, you should look up derma roller.
Derms also would recommend laser treatment. I suggest visiting your derm again to get a professional opinion.
Other than that, I'm glad your lifestyle change has stopped your acne and you should stick with it.
