I told you alag, I went overboard with exfoliation afterwards, rubbing my face with sponges neurotically for a couple months post peel. It was most likely the combination of the two, but the peel defi...

Loss of volume for one. My right cheek is slightly less voluminous than my left now. Under harsh lighting I can see that part of my face is LOWER than the rest. My skin also has a slightly different t...

Playing video games helps me too! Especially story-driven walking simulators. I'd recommend "The Begginner's Guide." It's new, kind of true story (you'll know what I mean if you google it), and it dea...

Careful with peels, Stinabina. That's great that you're at least seeing some sort of improvement, but I think 40% is pretty strong. I messed up part of my face leaving 20% on for a few minutes, still ...

There have been several forum topics about dating with acne/scars. Many people, men and women, have found success with relationships. Many people who thought themselves to be unlovable were able to fi...

No, it shouldn't be controlling your life. It controls my actions too sometimes, although much less often than it used to. I've realized that it's really not worth worrying about. Others only care if ...

Your life is going so well! Congrats on getting your dream job. I'm happy for you. Just think about how fortunate you are. Positive thoughts will ward off the worries. My skin takes a dive...

I come to this forum when I'm feeling alone, sad, hopeless etc. and take comfort in reading the stories and experiences and insights people share here. I usually end up browsin...

Humanhelperist was so annoying lol

Honestly, just wait. If your skin calms down, you'll be red-mark free in less than a year. Any scarring you have is very minor. Your skin tone looks wonderful!

Yeah, I'd say just look forward to the future. Give it some time. Unrelated: I saw toro y moi / of montreal this past summer . They were great!

Your skin looks good. Once the hyperpigmentation fades it will look even better. You have very minor indented scarring which will probably fill in with time. You should feel optimistic!

I've had this weird rash on my back for a couple weeks now, and I didn't really bother with it until tonight. It felt a bit tender when I leaned against it, so I absentmindedly gave it a (very)Â...

I have a relatively shallow saucer shaped scar on my cheek. It's been there since last year. I got really freaked out recently because I could feel a zit forming underneathe the scar, and I was sure i...

A lot of members will find your post frustrating because you're complaining about a little bit of redness that looks utterly normal in the picture. I find this frustrating too, especially since your t...

Topaz, I can pretty much guarentee you those will fade with time, especially if you exfoliate regularly. Your scars are very, very minor. I've had scars deeper than yours fill in within a year. Don't ...

Of course. I'm guessing most people saw your picture and immediately left when they saw no rolling scars. To be honest, tanning will probably make it worse in the long run. Sunlight, or the light from...

This might not make you feel any better, but I'm guessing your friends don't know what to say. I'm sure they care about you, and they're trying to show it in the only way they know how.They really don...

That is not a rolling scar. It's a wrinkle. Everybody has a wrinkle there. It's just more pronounced on certain people. You have a wonderful forehead, you're lucky.

I feel suicidal at times as well. I have some noticeable scars on the right side of my face that I'm completely obsessed with. I waste so much time just staring at myself in the mirror, comparing my r...

I put so much effort into desensitizing myself to my facial scarring, attempting to convince myself that "it's not that bad", that "it suits me", that "it adds character" and such. I'll stare at mysel...

Thanks mrsrobinson! I'm actually not worried about the deeper red mark on my cheek. It's a new one, and I'm certain it will go away with time--I've had worse scars disappear within a year. What I'm wo...

From a combination of a chemical peel and over-exfoliation, my face has undergone a loss in thickness and volume (just on my right side! My left side is nearly perfect). There are also a few indented ...

I can totally relate to your situation. I'm 20 as well, in college, and I have lots of kind, caring friends. I'm enjoying my studies for the most part, I have fun sometimes, I have a girl to hold some...

I'd be really careful with acid peels. Literally, the only reason I have scarring now is because of a couple acid peels I did last year. I focused on my right side, and it has since lost the ability t...
