The thing about the internet and forums like this is the freely available information, good and bad. I've been in exactly the same situation as you, feeling completely conflicted about acne treatmen...

my scars are rolling, so the dermastamp is really good for those read up on the owndoc.com forum and jump in, the improvement is slow but in 6 months you'll really notice it...don't overdo it though, ...

I forget if I already asked you this on the hormonal forum, but have you looked into Spiro? It makes me sad so many adult women struggle with this when there is such an effective solution. It really d...

for the retin a, if your skin can handle it, go with tazorac gel...I find the cream clogs pores, but the gel is more drying that will help keep pores clean and slowly help with the redness...so if you...

Thank-you. I will certainly try to find a good dermatologist in my nearest city. I will also look into the hormonal stuff. Maybe I could do antibiotics and some hormonal treatment as well. Retin-a...

Are you under the care of a dermatologist for your acne? If not, you really should see one ASAP to get whatever is causing your acne under control. I did not experience acne until my mid 20s. By the t...

Hi everyone, Just a tiny bit of background. I am a 22 year old female. Breakouts started a year ago but didn't get really bad until about Nov-Dec 2013. Noticed the scarring early April. I think the ...

Yeah I have read a bit about Vitex and saw palmetto. I am worried about making things worse though and these two herbs seem to have pretty specific actions. That's why I thought for me (because I am...

Hi everyone, I could really use some advice right now as I am really struggling... I am 22. I am pretty convinced that I have some hormonal imbalance. I have been dealing with red spots (some I suspe...

From the pictures your skin looks pretty acne free. Looks like just PIH. But I can't really tell you if you have active acne or not. You should really know that.

I would like to know what people think also as my skin looks very much like this. I expect that when the hyperpigmentation clears they'll look much better. I only really notice mine in harsh overhea...

I would like to have the saliva testing but I have heard it is expensive and I'm a university student so I don't really have hundreds to spend. But I would find the money if I had to. I do have othe...

Will they get worse as they 'mature'? I am young, 22, so if I don't to anything in the next 2 years to help them, will they get worse in that time? What should I be doing now? Would topicals that he...

Hi, I have had scars for about 1 month or so now (well that's how long ago I noticed). So they've probably not long formed. I don't know if they're still forming or what! Could they still be forming? ...

At one point I had pretty much constant acne and didn't pay much attention to when I got new spots but I have noticed, since my acne has calmed down a bit, that I do get spots in the last half of my c...

Yeah I have done alot of research and suspect the pretty classic imbalances (high testosterone, low progesterone). But blood tests were normal. Would you suggest a saliva test done by a naturopath? I...

I know classic hormone imbalance acne is around the jaw/chin area, and that is where I started breaking out, but then it moved out onto my cheeks as well. Has anyone else experienced this? And it is...

Hi, I suspect a hormonal imbalance has been causing my breakouts over the past year. I have had a blood test for PCOS and to check my hormones but all came back normal. I know blood test aren't 100...

I think a lot of people find that it irritates their skin, making it dry and such. If that is the case then it certainly isn't going to help hyperpigmentation.

Has anyone ever had a bunch of new indented scars form at almost the same time? I have an area of my face that has always been a mess despite the rest of my face being decent. I think years of having...

Has anyone heard of demarolling or stamping causing more scarring?

Scars needs to be treated regularly to promote collagen production. Look into fillers like fat grafting and needling. I have identified that my scars are most likely only 2 months old at most (I had...

Hi everyone, I first noticed a small dented scar about 1 month ago and since then more and more dented scars have started to become obvious on my cheeks. Why does it appear they're getting worse and ...
