I'll probably fly out to Canada to get this done after I'm done with treatments here in Chicago. tca cross-->ablative fraction laser-->hopefully 3 enerjets

Yeah it's gonna scar. A cyst that big bursting will leave a scar on you regardless of how super your skin healing genetics are. You have some scars underneath that healing wound, that's probably what...

Do you have my skin tone? I'm also of Indian descent and also have a lot of ice pick scars.

How do you get it to work on ice picks? The consistency is way too thick and it dries instantly.

How did you go out in public with such crazy pigmentation (makeup)? What would you tell people if they asked you why your skin was so red? Nice improvement bro!! Could you look at my picture in my gal...

They will get worse in the long term as facial fat goes away...during the aging process.

All my scarred pores (not true ice picks) are from pustules.

Seriously?

I got pitted scars from nodular acne that would come to a head.

No to fish oil and cod liver oil. They both inhibit wound healing with their high omega 3 levels.

It was FDA approved on 2/16/09...Dumb American doctors.

Can it be found in America?

This is what Arginine does for wound healing: full text- Collagen deposition in wounds is 74% higher! Fish oil (omega 3's) will decrease collagen production: This study only had one person...zinc ...

Have you used peels before?

Maybe exfoliate your skin often?

Use retin-a or salicyclic acid peels. The skin needs to be shed. They could be extracted, but your skin could possibly scar due to the longevity of your enclosed whiteheads.

As a person who used the regimen for a long time: stop using BP, it prolongs redness. Get on retin a, it's amazing!

Use a combination of hydroquinone and retin a. Also, learn to apply makeup if this temporary problem is bothering you.

"If it aint broke dont fix it." If it is broke, you should fix it. The regimen didn't work for me either. Benzoyl peroxide has been shown to prolong redness and possibly decrease collagen production. ...

The regimen is horrible, don't know why everyone does it. Just BP.

Maybe 100% tca caused her skin to scar. It's possible that some people's skin have a lower threshold of tca tolerance and >a certain % will cause them to scar. I'm going to try 50% tca cross on a s...

I had a failed test spot done with 100% tca on an ice pick scar (scar became deeper) by a derm. I noticed that the scar didnt frost at all and that he poked the scar very hard. Is it more the case tha...
