@icikiwir some of the red marks fade, but about 7 of them just stays the same which is weird. I guess as Dan said, the redder ones got hurt worse initially so it is harder for them to fade. I feel tho...

@dan Yes Probably. It has been a nightmare for me for the past few months. I went to a really experienced doctor but result in those scary red marks that won't go away. I did not see any improvements ...

@dan Thanks. The weird part is some area lighten up quickly, some area is just so stubborn and show no progress at all.

@icikiwir Yes. In fact the raised part has lighter color, almost fade to the skin color. I am not sure whether that exist pre my tca treatment or not. In my opinion TCA is just so not worth it , sever...

@dan thank you for the response. I tried to take photos but it is impossible to see the bump in the photo. Can only feel it because it is small. yes I never heard of raised scar from anybody else, al...

Hi I did my 80% TCA on Dec 27th. Most of the color is fading fine, there are few of them still pretty red, And among those red ones, I noticed one of the red ones, seems form a raised scar. I can feel...

@dan thank you so much for your suggestion!

@dan Thank you so much! will ask my derm do a cortisone shot. I have my next Derm visit in 1 month, would it be too late? should I schedule an earlier one?

Hi: I have a pretty bad/big cystic acne on my chin under my mouth starting mid Feb, it finally heal early march but it leaves a small red bump. and then after few days, there is another cystic acne br...

@grimacingblob Hi Thank you so much for sharing, do you mind sharing your scar photos? I am also considering going to Dr Rullan for treatment, I have done several pricey lasers and even subcisions wit...

@icikiwir seems not the same lighting, the lighting can make the color looks way different. do you have the photos of the same lighting tone? Mine just improved a little during the past month after I ...

rahimi is not expert at all. his ig after photos are taken when patient face is.still swollen. The swollen will eliminate the scar. I see 0 result after 2 subscsion and 2co2.

@upliftingcat Hi: if you are still replying: I feel the same way as you described: "It goes down occasionally throughout the day but seems to get red again in the evening. Its frustrating because when...

@tcany That's great to hear! do you experience any irritation using it? Mine got slightly better in the past 2-3 weeks but not as noticeable as yours. I scheduled a vbeam laser with my derm next week....

@tcany Thank you for your kind words! For mine it is just weird ,some spot got the PIH and not fading at all while other spot fade quickly, maybe because different area irritated differently when TCA ...

@tcany Yes, I also want to wait another month before doing any laser treatment although my derm offered it for free in case it make the scar look worse. He did not mention texture, but I feel if the s...

@tcany I visited my derm today he said showed me the before and after photo, seems some spot is better? but just so red hard to tell. He mentioned the PIH is normal and will fade away, but he said he...

@icikiwir pretty much the same. I visited my derm today he said showed me the before and after photo, seems some spot is better? but just so red hard to tell. The PIH is normal and will fade away wit...

@tcany got it. I feel not only the the skin has different texture, the skin is a little thinner. But i learned this is a normal phase when wound is still healing. At this point seems we have not bette...

@guygaga Got it. Yes thanks for the clarification.

@icikiwir i found this from the internet: A quick test to know if you have PIE or PIH is by squeezing the spot where you have the mark.If the mark disappears or turns white when you apply pressu...
