Hi WishClean, I have read a lot of your posts and you seem really knowledgeable about this stuff. I took Indole-3-Carbinol, as perscripned by a doctor, for 3 months and it was great, I hardly had an...

Hi Rob, Were the results from the peel permanent?

Hey guys, When you stretch your skin and the scars are able to completely smooth out does this mean they are less tethered? I've read about somethin like this mentioned here before but can't seem to f...

Hi DC-girl, You said you got rid of new scars with TCA, is that correct? Like they completely disappeared? How old were they? And how many times did you have to use TCA on them? I have heard that n...

That's a good idea! I will try and find some pictures of my reallly bad and good skin days I hope I haven't deleted the ones that can help lol. I think looking at pictures of my bad skin days is also...

Hi DC-girl, Would you say a Paleo type diet would be anti-inflammatory and good for healing? I already keep away from gluten and most sugar and dairy but I have been thinking about ditching all grain...

Thanks for replying! I am so grateful that I have another thyroid victim giving me some perspective! I think looking at old pictures is really what makes this struggle harder so I totally get what you...

My skin was beautiful. I even modeled at one point. I used to get comments like; "your face is glowing" "omg your face is so clear" or just simply "wow". Needless to say, I am here so those comments d...

  Hmm, that's very interesting. Are you going to get off vitamin A when your skin clears completely? Did your doc mention any side effects? Well my doc said I would only be on it a month or...

So I know inflammation from acne can cause scarring. Can PIH cause scarring? How can you tell the difference between inflammation and PIH? I know this might seem weird but I am wondering whether the...

Hmm, that's very interesting. Are you going to get off vitamin A when your skin clears completely? Did your doc mention any side effects? Well my doc said I would only be on it a month or 2 until I ...

If scars aren't tethered down is it sort of the same as treating wrinkles? After all, they're both caused by loss of collagen, right? So if a product says it helps deep wrinkles by promoting collagen...

Does anyone have experience with mass doses of Vitamin A? I have been prescribed 50,000 IU per day by my doctor. She said it is different from Roaccutane because it is not synthetic but I have a fee...

Why is it that some people get results with dermarolling and some don't? Some people swear by it and others say it did nothing or even made their skin worse! I've been reading up on it and there ar...

I don't think it is ever a good idea to strive for "perfection". There will always be something about yourself that bothers you. That's just life. That being said, I don't intend to accept something t...

you are welcome! i just want you to have hope that things will workout because last year i didnt have that hope and just wanted to die it was an awful feeling. omg you and i are have way too much in c...

You should not needle over active acne, it'll just spread the bacteria and cause more pimples. If you do decide to go with needling do plenty of research, as it can do more harm then good if you don'...

i know that feeling of regret and being angry i was there myself and still struggle with it but just know that things will get better. if i had taken spiro when my derm suggested it a few years ago i ...

you sound exactly like me last year i never thought i would be happy again but thanks to spiro and keflex (as well as using a glycolic acid toner) i got clear and have remained clear. its been about ...

Thanks guys for all your comments! I have been feeling very down about my skin the past few days. Sometimes I honestly believe I will never be happy again. Like never truly happy. Its been about 2 ...

Does anyone know what can make someone more susceptible to scarring? i.e. medical conditions, lacking certain vitamins and minerals etc. I am wondering because all my scarring basically happened over-...

You know what really sucks...finding pictures of yourself from when you had perfect skin. I found one today. Its 5 years old, I was 17. Its a school picture, the classic bright photography lighting a...

yes I believe it, to the definition of having to look very closely and it's hardly noticeable....so it's there but very faint yes, I have many rolling scars and they are deeper and I'm still working,...

I am doing a lot of research into this kind of stuff for my shallow scarring. I'd love to hear from more people.

I have seen people with more severe scarring say that after their treatments some of their more minor scars disappeared completely. Now I have read that a scar is a scar and you will always have it,...
