Wax 0 Share Posted March 24, 2014 I have some hypertrophic scars on my nose that resulted from multiple flareups of cystic acne. I got the first scar around 8 years ago. I've had so many cysts on my nose that I have lost track. The newest scar is 4 years old and it's the only one not grouped together with the others. I'm currently using silicone gel and I actually do see some results but only on the newest scar. It probably shrank down by half after using the gel for about a month. I'm thrilled it's actually working but my older scars seem to be unaffected. I'm wondering what other treatment options I have. Nose scars just seem terribly difficult to treat from all of the posts I've read. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iamlenlen 1 Share Posted July 6, 2014 You might want to try water fasting. It is the only method I have researched that worked on nose scars. But please do lots of research prior to your water fasting. There are dangers in water fasting when done inappropriately. Here is the thread. and Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

420blazeitfgt 23 Share Posted July 6, 2014 Don't listen to lenar, he's extremely gullible and posts a lot about bullshit cures that would never work. Depriving your body of nutrients via water fasting will only cause harm, but then again, you probably already knew that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
