AMVC is only found in young people so children to 40 years old in any case reports I have been able to access. I am sure many others have it but doctors are not definite in the diagnosis and if you ha...

A case report I read mentioned ANA along with some other tests, the case report patient had a negative result so that's not indicative of AMVC.

may be its a because the people who had it are not experiencing new scarring. what happened to lamar, may be someone should try to get an update from him. what does ANA stand for?

I see what you are saying, yes the texture is still normal just the indentation is still an atrophic scar. Its not a major scar in depth and size. That's probably why Laser or microneedling would work...

Yes same with me. Did you ever see a doctor that had any experience with other patients to let you know if their random scars started up again later? Its hard to find case reports but the ones that...

did you get it the first time after being on accutane?

thanks for your response, i hope we all grow out of it. i have read publications on this, there arent followups published on those cases either.

Ok so thats not AMVC then. Anyone diagnosed with AMVC? seems like the others who said they were dont post on here anymore, maybe its a sign it eventually stopped.

@Jelly - how long have you been getting AMVC scarring, did it stop eventually? lasers and dermabrasion should work, the options to fix it are out there, but i am wondering when yours stopped occurring...

I believe i have atrophia maculosa varioliformis cutis and am going to the derm this week but I have read there isnt much treatment. So i was hoping the ones that were diagnosed with it like can expla...

Hi Ela, can you please give an update on how you are doing now? And have you had any treatments? I am going to the derm this week. I believe i have this. Were you ever on accutane by any chance?
