I took large doses of pantothenic acid for a couple of months, then 0.5 - 1.0 gram daily for a couple of years. I still continue to take a 0.5 gram capsule once in a while, once or twice a week. I can...

Sometimes you don't notice the irritation until a few days later. Also, please be aware that Retin-A (and similar products) can make your skin very fragile, prone to scarring easily.

I have purchased both models. They are completely flat. They are the same as the ones sold by Nova and Eviala, only much less expensive.   Please post a link to this item that you says looks like...

What's this product supposed to do?   This thread is ancient.

has anyone rolled/needled to improve hypopigmentation? im considering this but dont know if its a long shot. thanks. I have (and had) some pitted scars that are white. After needling some of them di...

I think you are right Taurus Girl, moreover, when you buy stuff on the internet you can never be sure of the quality. quote about DermaStamp from "l": Yeah, but seriously, do you think it's...

I think you'll be disappointed. I looked into doing this and through research found that it doesn't work for scarring and it causes acne. Someone was on it and it gave them bad acne so they had to sto...

Here are two bad reviews on Retin A and its effect on pitted scarring: One is from actual MD's and the other from actual users on the boards. I feel like returning this stuff I paid $148 for ...

Yes, I heard about the 'swiss cheese effect' before, not sure if it was you who mentioned it. That's possible, but if I had known I would have never used it, I'd be happy with having 'underground/tunn...

I didn't have any scars before using Retin-A.   I started using it to help clear red marks and prevent future acne break outs. Don't know if it's just coincidence, but after using it I started ...

This does not work on pitted scars, it's only for marks and acne itself, not pitted scars.

Has anyone had any breakouts from applying iodine topically?   Iodine taken internally can cause breakouts, no iodized salt for me, or else I start breaking out.   So I'm wondering if topica...

Well, I've been taking Serrapeptase for two months and haven't seen any improvement at all.   I think this doesn't help at all with pitted scars, on the contrary, it might make them worse.  ...

I don't think anyone said something like 'give up, it can't be fixed'.   Most of us come here to find something we can use to treat our pitted scars. We just don't want to waste our time on some...

I'll also side with Kaori on this one.   I don't think many understand her point.   We acknowledge Turmeric works for acne and red marks. Not so for real atrophic acne scars.   Red mar...

Is anyone taking serrapeptase doing anything else, like needling?   I needled one of my scars about a week ago and it looks worse now than ever.   I have previously needled this scar (before...

Hi, I'm trying serrapeptase for my acne scarring since last week(40000 units per day). Unfortunately I broke out badly and I do not know if this happened because of the enzym. Yesterday I stopped the...

lamarr, where do you get the stoppers and lancets/needles?   That's sort of what I've been doing lately, using a dermaroller and needling individual scars with a tattoo needle.

I just ordered serrapeptase, I'll report how that works for me.     Mandy Ann, how's your acne now? What you mentioned is similar to how I got my scars. During most of my teen I only had ver...

Very interesting...   Does serrapeptase work as well as Vitalzym? I'm kind of in a tight budget so I'm trying to save whenever possible.   Thanks.    

Thanks for reviving this thread and for the update.   Everytime I get a cut on a finger or something like I that, I notice how slowly it heals and many times leave scars. Also, lately I've gotten...

I'm sorry, but can you judge by looking at those pictures. They're not very clear, the ones that are somewhat clear are clearly retouched. But in any case, good for him if he's scars have improved. &n...

...I used to get that too, it took about a week and sometimes a bit more to go away. Gotta be very careful with tea tree oil, especially if use 100% pure tea tree oil like I used too.   It also g...

OK guys, here's my conclusion:   I started taking Topiramate on February 18. I took a 25mg pill every night for 90 days. To this day, I keep taking it, but I have slowly decreased the dose after ...

...anybody still interested in this?   Sorry, I haven't been around to give an update, my best friend died about 2 months ago and I just kind of stopped caring about my scars and everything else...
