I have relatively clear skin, but recently one side of my face has been breaking out with cystic acne. I know I shouldn™t have, but i picked at it and picked off the scabs once it scabbed over. All of these marks are from the last two months. Are these scars? How can I get rid of them?
Do you still have pus or nodules or cysts in your skin in the red areas ?
The red areas look like inflammation to me, rather than scars. Are the red areas "weeping" or are they dry ? Was your skin dry or wet with clear liquid and/or a bit bloody under the scabs when you picked them off ?
Do you have dandruff or flaking skin (or a white coating on your tongue) ? Have you taken antibiotics or accutane ?
No, no more modules or cysts, just reddish pink skin. It looks almost like a layer of skin is missing. And the surrounding areas are dark and discolored. The red areas are dry and were not bloody when I picked off the scabs.
I have no dandruff, flaking skin, or white tongue.
