Anytime. Don't stress over it, you'll work it out. Just don't pick at it as it may make it worse/bigger. Maybe look into some gentle topicals to soften the tissue, something like pawpaw ointment (ve...

I'm one of these weird people who loves gross things, haha! So no apology needed. It does sound like a cystic acne spot to me. Cysts often burst without you touching them. If you didn't pick or squeez...

It does sound like a boxcar scar but if it's just one at this stage I would try not to stress. Chronic stress causes hormonal imbalances which can lead to further acne breakouts so try to relax and se...

Is it just your scars that get darker or have you noticed that your skin tone in general seems to go a bit darker or blueish? I know when my fingers are cold they go a blue-grey colour. I have a thin ...

I don't self-treat but after each of my professional treatments with the 1.5mm Dermaroller my face is both red raw and swollen. The redness lasts about 4 days for me and the microswelling lasts around...

Hey mammasay! If your spot has only been healing for a week I wouldn't stress too much about the scar at this stage. Can you describe what it looks like? If it's indented it's still early days. Your...

Just seems a bit of an odd place for one to get a boil, but you are correct, sebaceous cysts are usually painless. I was thinking that it sounded like a sebaceous cyst since they tend to be on the "...

Restylane is a good choice, it's a hyaluronic acid based filler.

Scar tissue isn't always red/pink. Colour depends on a lot of factors including age and type of the scar, location, creams you've used etc. The reason I asked if it was hard is because it's likely n...

That's an odd place to get a boil. It sounds more like a sebaceous cyst to me, considering that it popped like that. I had one once on my shoulder blade and it was pretty gross. You may not be scarr...

Hiya! I would be inclined to think that it's scar tissue, especially since you had that pimple for over a month. Does it feel hard to the touch? I wouldn't stress too much but I would see a dermatol...

All I can say is do your research. There are so many fillers out there it's a bit scary. Whatever you do don't get silicone fillers. They're permanent, yes, but there are too many risks involved. The...

Hiya samui, Have you consulted with someone skilled in subscision as yet? I've been doing a bit of research on it too as I'm considering it for one rolling scar on my cheek if my Dermarolling sessio...

The Dermaroller is working for me, and I actually love the treatment. They numb your face first for around half an hour and the treatment takes around 15-20 minutes. Not long! Those who are skilled in...

Hi Quirky Fox, Thanks for your post every much, it gives me a lot of encouragement. I will go to better hospital to ask for full evaluation of my scar, and take proper treatment.   You're welc...

Hey michi31! Research is key and I think it's great you're still in that process. You're right about the Dermarolling. There is no heat generated and therefore no risk of thermal damage. The yuckies...

The accutane will help. 80mg is a high dosage though so I'd be prepared for really dry, itchy skin for a while. Got a good lightweight moisturiser? Hopefully most of what you're seeing is active acne ...

Hey! You don't seem to have that much active acne, but sadly I can see some scarring/textural issues. Can you tell us what methods you have tried in the past? That might give us a better understandi...

Hey TJ, Some of that looks like scarring while other bumps look a little more like active acne. Do you still suffer from acne? If so I'd look at clearing that up first and then you can tackle the sc...

Hello all! I'm new to the forums but I've been a bit of a lurker for a few months now. I am a 27 year old Aussie girl who, like many here, suffered terrible acne as a teenager and well into my twent...

Hey there! I'm new here but am jumping right into posting. Your scarring is mild but you're right, looks like you have mostly boxcar scars. The scars on your cheekbone look a little like rolling sca...

Hi Roody! First of all, I'm sorry to hear that your father didn't take you seriously when you told him about your acne. My parents were similar in that they thought I was beautiful no matter what. S...
