I wouldn't have gone through hell and struggles for years and wouldn't be the same person.

Just took shirt off and acted confident, the dark marks from past acne didn't draw any attention at all, was a nonfactor. Really mad at myself for fearing going to pools/beaches this summer.

Got a girl coming over to swim tomorrow, I'm in shape but am going crazy over the dark marks from past acne... AGHHHHHHHH Edit : On upper back

your skin looks pretty good to me i wouldnt do anything to it.just keep using the Tretinoin. Thanks, I've just had that one breakout thats obvious on my forehead in the past few weeks. Retin-A/Chemi...

I have a few on my forehead, most notably the big one right above where my unibrow would be if I had one. Not sure if they are rolling or boxcar or what. I've been doing weekly chemical peels and derm...

Got my face on lockdown with daily Retin-A and weekly chemical peels, still too self conscious to take shirt off at a pool/beach due to PIH on shoulders/upper back

great, fuck acne

Man, screw it. Going through hell with stress and anxiety made me a much better person. I don't judge those with scars, acne, etc.. I used to be very vain. I've got pretty clear skin now with some bar...

Well PIH is hyper pigmentation after the inflammation subsides. Usually natural inflammation (not caused by you picking or irritating your acne) does not cause scarring if you are treating your acne a...

I'll take part in this. I have some dark spots on my shoulders/traps and back.. Takes forever for the marks to fade.

Retin-a (Tretinoin) has done nothing but good for me. I used to use .05% strength, but I can handle .1 now. I use the cream version by the way.

All I'm getting on my face are minor whiteheads now, chemical peel greatly reduced the appearance of scars.. Love the sun!

get some baking soda and put it in water, you can use that to neutralize the acid I used a 30% glycolic acid peel today for 5 minutes on my entire face and responded extremely well. It stung a tiny ...

You could try a light chemical peel. Something like a 30% glycolic acid. I'm amazed at the results from just one use.

Is it increasing the rate at which the scars are fading or just getting rid of your acne?

No, lol.

Fine with face but random bacne is really getting old.

Got sun burnt. asdfae4rtw45yy54wy745w27

The doryx (Doxycycline) also played a huge role, I've gone from constant new acne on my face to just a red face in the past few weeks on it.

I have been on doxy for 3 weeks. I noticed zero change in the first two weeks, in fact it actually made my skin worse and I had nausea issues. My face is pretty much clear now, I just have redness fr...

I used a pretty old razor a few months ago, shaved in all the wrong ways... was very rough.. zero ingrown hairs or irritation. Every attempt since then I've been so careful.. prepped my skin.. had a ...

  It is weird, it has no effect on mine either. Acne just seems to come whenever it wants, stress or no stress, bad or good diet. My face was actually flawless 2 years ago when I was 175 lbs a...

Good for once
