How I am feeling?   Well, I realized that my face looks like shit after actually taking an up close picture of it. I am all scarred up and it looks 100x worse in the picture than I thought it di...

Listen, Im a 22 yr old girl and I can say that back scars are not a turn off and can be seen as sexy. As long as its not active acne on the back, most girls wont care. That girl left because you look ...

When a songs lyrics mention a girl having pretty skin and you start to cry because that isnt you

I believe that my indented scars have improved over time. I never before attributed it to retin-a, but I have used quite a bit of it. I used to see myself, years ago, in the sun in profile when driv...

I only came across this site a few months ago and wish I had discovered it sooner. It's been sooo informative (a little too informative... a bit overwhelming...) but it's also been a great comfort to ...

Snooze, thanks for the good luck. I avoid looking at pics of myself-I used to feel so pretty and full of myself lol-I always felt like the prettiest chick in the room...sigh. But, actually, since post...

5'2 too we have lots incommon, i wish i was YOUR weight though , I had cystic that time a year ago all on my cheek, it left brownish red marks that were indented. I didn't use anything on them, i onl...

Yes indented ,not the atropic rolling shallow ones that you probably have that will go away in time, but box car ones, one of them was an ice pic but it turned into a box car recently, i didn't reali...

My right cheek too girl! it was the prefect cheek only 4 months ago, and now i have 5 new scars on it. But i know i will fix it, where there is a will there is a way. Do you think you can post a phot...

Commiserating with all who are kicking themselves. If only i could turn back time and not have gone snorkling , that snorkle pushed down my huge cyst and made is twice as HUGE. If only i had got it i...

The answer is yes with a pinch of patience! Shallow atrophic (indented scars) will greatly improve, if not dimish in time. Deeper atrophic scars, although may not diminish will significantly improv...

Well some scars,I mean indented ones do go away!! I had indented scars on both sides of face,the right side of my face is smooth and the scars are gone!!! I still have a scar on my left cheek though i...

Yeah, my number one wish is to turn back time. Just one year ago would be fine. Half of my depression comes from what I look like, but the other half is raw regret. I know I can't blame anyone else bu...

I used retin-a for a mad long time then stupidly didn't protect my skin from the sun for a period of time, so sun damage encouraged scars to appear on my face. i wonder if i protect myself from the su...

I had used retin-a for two years and it completely got rid of my indent acne scars. I think I just fell in love with you if your a guy lol. You gave me hope and made my day! Ive done alot of researc...

Do they ever show improvement with time if you just dont use anything to try and fix them? If so, is the progress years, months, or will they always look the same no matter what? Please, someone answe...
