See a provious post about treatment using a hyfrecator.   My thinking is if the scars are numerous, which they are in my case, this may not be the best option.   I intend to try a CO2 la...

Day 82: Haven't reported anything in a while, mainly due to having nothing to report.   Started 80mg a day about 3.5 weeks ago. Still no side FX really other than slightly dry lips. Chap stick i...

Day 25-34: Started 2nd month of accutane. Originally the derm wanted to only give me 30mg. I talked her into 40mg. She was quite offended when I mentioned I wanted to do a higher dose and a higher cum...

I would urge you to first take care of the acne 100 percent man. I got my acne somewhat under control but still broke out some an didn't realize pretty much every single breakout left a mark. When you...

I would wait until your acne is 100 percent gone. I originally went to a clinic to treat my scarring and realized I was still was breaking out sometimes so I went on accutane. I am still getting a few...

Thanks for the responses.. Based on what you girls are saying I think I am also going to request a low setting to start with just in case..   I will try that rosehip seed oil too.. Thanks for...

Thanks! As far as having injections and other simple procedures done on accutane the derms I talked to were more concerned with actual resurfacing. Even with resurfacing it seems its not guaranteed y...

Hey Anna.. Thanks Again so much for responding. Yeah I guess my scars don't look like those either but they are raised marks that look like they would be harder to treat.   Upon further inspe...

I hope I get less libido..

Hey Anna.. Have you ever heard of the skin classic machine?   It is used to treat sebaceous hyperplasia which has a similar appearance to our scars. I am wondering if it would work. Seems prett...

Hey Anna. Thanks again for taking the time to respond.   Any other tips on how to find a derm who has experience with these scars? No one I talk to has even heard the term.   My derm I u...

Anna. Thanks so much for the reply. I have lots of these like TigerClaw, I think I may have Had more at one point even and some of them seem to have flattened but a lot still remain.   This is ...

Has anyone tried having these scars injected? I have heard some good reviews. It seems most dermatologists tout the lasers since they are easy for them and expensive for us.   For those who are...

Day 4-- No side FX. No breakout. Honestly it seems it is actually helping keep me clear already because I usually would have some sort of blemish somewhere on my body by now without the antibiotics, e...

USA, West Coast. Doesn't matter though, I travel A LOT.

Does anyone know where to find the top rated docs for such things as fillers and other infections?? It seems skill is a major concern with these procedures. Thanks

Thanks for the responses. Hey Everything. Curious what dosage etc and what the course was like? My derm keeps insisting I will have an easy time and will probably not experience any problems or brea...

Originally my first post on this site was about dealing with my scarring on my body, After seeing a few specialists about treating the scars I realized I was still breaking out a little bit on my back...

Hey Pete. Yeah it is pretty much exactly the same for me. Unfortunately, I have ALOT of them. Probably 100s. They do kind of flatten with time really except the bigger ones are pretty wrinkly and noti...

Pete, I have EXACTLY the same thing. It is called Perifollicular Elastolysis or Follicular Macular Atrophy. One would think it wouldn't be too hard to cure since it almost disappears when you stretch...

Thanks for the advice everyone.   RE: Dudley I am wondering what you are basing this info on? It seems every doctor I have talked to has mentioned fraxel Repair as an option. Also, I read som...

Thanks again for the responses. Sorry if it seems I am blowing things out of proportion but these really suck to me and look worse in certain lighting. and in real life The pics don't really show the ...

Thanks for the responses although only one was treatment related. The pictures do not compare to real life and I am not a very good photographer and don't really know how to use lighting to show wha...

I have been a long time lurker of these forums, I finally decided to join. I will share my brief story, hopefully it will help others who relate to my situation, or at least let you know you are not a...
