chloev5 0 Share Posted July 9, 2004 Hi, I have been lingering here for ages and finally got the courage to post and upload pics. Please take a look at the gallery and let me know what one would call these scars. Any suggestions would be great. I can always upload more pics if necessary. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

chloev5 0 Author Share Posted July 10, 2004 Hey, thanks for replying all of you. I agree, I would gladly take red marks over these things. I have had red marks and they have went away. I will be going to a derm here in a few weeks but I didn't want to go in there blind... it will be my first scar related visit to a derm. Thanks again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
smilingeyes 0 Share Posted July 10, 2004 The derms where I live don't deal with scars........we have to go to facial plastic surgeons here. Good luck with your visit! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

chloev5 0 Author Share Posted July 10, 2004 thanks alia1984, did you do the TCA cross yourself or have it done professionally? I have yet to read the thread, it is so long!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LoveGreenSmoothies 32 Share Posted July 10, 2004 You should really try to read it Chloe, even if you have someone else perform it on you, it is good to be aware. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

agua2004 0 Share Posted July 11, 2004 I saw your pictures. Glycolic acid can help (at least your left cheek), if you are willing to wait some months. It's a gradual process. I would suggest you to keep having glycolic acid peels once a week for some months. When you are still having red skin, because of your last peel, don't try any new peels. However, I think the scars on your right cheek are deep. And a tip: never, never pop an acne blemish after a peel (it can make your skin to form a scar). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
