Dear acne.org community,
tahnk you for beeing so helpful for me !
Do you guys know which kind of scarring this is ? I know I still have outbreaks but you can see some obvios scars.
And the scars are about 20% worse then on the pictures due to the light...
Which treatment could you advise and does anybody of you have the same scarrring ?
Do you think i can get 80%+ improvement ?
One last question: the scars appear to be less deep in the morning .... Does anybody of you expierience the same thing ?
and i will upload some pictures soon with better light to expose the real deepth of the scars.
I know it is mild to mid scarring but the uneven texture and so on is that which makes me feel unsecure and so on.
Sorry for all those questions ...
If you have questions feel free to ask
Looks similiar to mine. I know I have some rolling, and pitted whatever that means IDK. Id say maybe some boxcar for sure. I been using Glycolic and Lactic 40% and I just realized when finishing the last peel, my boxcars are almost gone I CANT BELIEVE IT>Maybe you want to youtube that. All texture problems are ATROPHIC.
just a quick update.
I started to apply coconut oil on my skin about 3 days ago and honestly I have to say that i got slight improvement. I will keep applying that for the next couple of months and will keep updating a bit. (if you guys interested)
I might upload some pictures tmrw.
One last thing I am not sure about. How would you consider my scarring ? Is it deep or superficial ?
thanks for your help
hey guys keep you upated
so i have gotten a pretty bad breakout about 1 month ago and it has resulted into further scarring.
I would say that the new scars are much much worse than the old ones and I would be really happy if I had the skin I used to have 3 months ago, which I thought was horrible. (see pictures)
Nevertheless I have switched to apple cider vinegar and we`ll see if i get beter results.
I maybe post a few pics later but they are wothless because you can not compare if there was any progress on my scarring du to the new scars everywhere.
I think time may have played a part there. Nevertheless your skin is much improved! Have you been needling as well? I gotta say I actually laughed at the slapping technique, don't get me wrong, I believe it may work, but the image of someone doing that is hardcore! Great for you anyway, keep doing what you're doing. Good Luck!

I had to giggle as well especially as it is something I could rather happily do to myself when I look in the mirror of doom.
Time was a big factor of course
And yes i have needled about every 4 months or so.
I have to metion that if you want to compare the results between the pictures correctly then you should not look on the 2 scars at the top of my scarring area because they are relativley new. (2nd pic)
And slapping the scars felt amazing
Subcision would work on those with filler if you goto a doctor.
Microneedling and tca if you do it at home would help some. Those look like shallow box cars to me.
You could try a tca peel to see if it evens out the texture, it does nothing for deep pits, but maybe the shallow ones.
Are you using retin a cream to turn your skin over?
