Thanks for the advice. I am going to insist of being transferred to a dermatologist. I have 2 weeks left of this cream (which has done nothing and won't because my skin is soft and smooth there, just ...

Yeah i know what you mean. They can be very dismiisive. Is there any other gp you could see in that practice? It normally takes upto 3months to see a Derm on nhs unless you go private. It'll cost abou...

Yup, that's just GP's. Really you should be seeing a dermatologist. Go back, say you aren't satisfied and you want a referral to a dermatologist. GP's are not in any way qualified like a Derm is, and ...

Yesterday, I went to my GP in the UK and my god, he is hard work. I went to him about a red patch on my right cheek that seems to have developed and stayed over the last 12/18 months. I also have wha...

The only regret I have with Accutane is not taking it sooner! I tried N-Lite when it first came out (which cost my family a small fortune) every antibiotic under the sun but NOTHING worked. Unfor...

Hopefully we'll all get there x

They've not explained that well at all though for people who are not 'clued up' on the issue

I was told about Dermarolling but feel like they were trying to push that one me as a cheap option. Have you been on Accutane before scar treatments? x

It's this company based in the UK... The 2nd bit is exactly what I couldn't get my head around... When you get acne it destroys the tissue and some of in turn the collagen hence why it is sunk!! To...

I logged onto the sk:n clinic website today to see what they had to offer... they're website has the following statement about acne scars. Am I going mad or is this the biggest load of rubbish I have ...

Thanks again for the replies. Most of the redness is acne so I'm hoping once that has completely gone it will make my skin look 1000 times better I will look at some scar treatments after... it's the...

Yeah it is dry I am starting a new moisturiser as of today thanks

I know, it's just frustrsating... it is acne but I need to do something to improve scars also

Anny comments/suggestions?

My friend took Roaccutabe and some of our friends think his scars look bad. I'd notice them more than my friends for obvious reasons but I must say they are hardly noticeable unless he is under a bri...

I've typically found that people that know people with skin problems will notice our skin. For example the only people that have ever commented are people that know someone with skin problems I.e. t...

Also, my scars look bad at the moment as I have active acne around them. My sideburns are perfectly clear skin and then it's a straight red line which seperates my sideburns to where the acne starts o...

To be honest, I dont only look at everyones fsce but i actually scrutinise my friends face (without it looking obvious) that was on Roaccutane years ago the most. His face looks bad in some lights but...

I am 29 years old... currently on my 3rd course of Roaccutane which is annoying because I've not really got acne as such anymore just redness that looks like the skin has come away with acne underneat...

Hey, I have every type of scar going on my face and back but some lights make them look worse, anyone else get this?! Also, what age did people notice there scars getting even worse (collagen loss...
