renn 0 Share Posted June 17, 2004 Has anyone ever been given the advice by a dr to leave thier scars alone and to let them heal by themselves? Some people claim that even using retin a can cause even more scarring , so a safe bet can be to leave your scars alone and let them heal naturally. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tj101 0 Share Posted June 18, 2004 Oh yes, Retin-A is bad s#$t!That's what caused my scars in the first place. I never had one until I used that crap. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Makaveli 0 Share Posted June 18, 2004 ya, that's what I am going to do.. Although, they are called scars for a reason.. over time, they will definitely be less noticeable, or maybe not noticeable at all.. It comes with the territory of having moderate/severe acne.. but just like a scratch from an accident, it will eventually fade out or will barely be noticeable.

sadcaroline 3 Share Posted June 18, 2004 my brother had really bad acne for about 7 years.. he grew out of it at about 21.. he had some moderate scarring.. (some rolling, a few ice pick an boxcar) he left it completely alone... has NO scars .. they all went away Quote Link to post Share on other sites
toomuch 1 Share Posted June 18, 2004 I'm also wondering whether to leave a few scars alone. Some of my scars (from a breakout almost a year ago) still have lots of pigmentation in them. So maybe these scars are still healing and may raise somewhat? Or maybe this is just wishful thinking Quote Link to post Share on other sites
