You need to get on a treatment to stop the acne and new scarring. Food wont fix your scarring like the previous commenter stated. You'll likely need a combination of treatments that I'm not entirely q...

You just have to be careful. If they accidentally remove some of the fat beneath the dermis, you could end up with a large indentation. That's in addition to the issues of stitching up a circular woun...

You can remove as much tissue as you want. Tissue expansion is an inherent ability that the skin has. Stretching the skin actually creates new skin; i's mind blowing but true. Appendages will be more ...

At the end of the day, the reality is that microcoring wont solve your problem if your damage extends to the hypodermis. It will remove the surface scarring and strictly textural problems, giving a pr...

I've been microneedling while on accutane. My skin scarred easily before and after accutane all the same. It doesn't seem to make things worse or better so far. I guess I'll give any updates here when...

Pitted scarring or redness? I don't think it's necessarily whether it's cystic or not that affects the scarring. I think it's just a function of how much inflammation there is and how sensitive the af...

I had the same spontaneous onset of scarring. Have you been taking any medications? My "solution" was to get on accutane, since that will hopefully prevent even average pimples. I'm only on my first m...

Yeah that's a pretty significant caveat. Excision is still the only true option for full thickness scars. Everything else is just minor, percentage improvements from what I see.

The more I think about this problem, the more I realize acne scarring probably can't truly be fixed, at least in the foreseeable future. Humans don't really understand how to regenerate skin yet, much...
