I got a granuloma from silicone microdroplet...about 5 years after and it is scarring as it slowly heals. Also get odd red flushing around injected areas at times. I dont come here a lot anymore but h...

This is a good read: It talks about how you can become addicted to topical corticosteroid creams, even cortisone creams. I feel like I have a lingering rash now because of doctors prescribing me to...

It seems I was at full storage on messages so I deleted some, try again Tried to message you but I can't seem to send anything.

Yes, I believe I can still receive private messages. When my swelling moved down my face (almost like cellulitis, yet doctor said not infection when swabbed) it did create a pocket of raised skin on t...

Well, at first my derm told me to take Septra DS and use desonide cream to get the swelling down. And it worked for a bit, it got smaller. Then guess what? I all of a sudden became allergic to Septra ...

Thanks! I know I have always had very reactive, sensitive skin, but when you feel a bead like lump and then get the spreading of inflammation, it makes me think the fillers were the cause. Just don't ...

It sucks. It really does. And I did research both silicone and artefill before I had them injected but I guess I just didn't want to believe the granuloma would happen to me. I didn't even get THAT m...

I would definitely try tamanu oil for raised scars...even indented ones, but raised especially. After using it for a bit now I see how it works to exfoliate off the scar tissue and renew the new skin ...

Don't know why my words showed up small before, LOL. The Collagen I take now is ResVitale Collagen Enhance pills. I really think it does help. It also has hyaluronic acid in it which helps to keep moi...

I would try to really moisturize that if they are still new, because I had some scar tissue that looked similar and it gets better with moisturization, time, and some gentle massage. I'd say they are ...

I would be curious to see a pic of the scarring as well. You mention you had depression before scars and I wonder if you really are magnifying your scars as in body dysmorphia a bit. I know before I g...

I agree it is horrible to have someone notice it. Usually it is just my little nieces who would say anything about my skin, usually because I had creams or absolutely no makeup on at the time! Kids wi...

Yes, skin problems are a real struggle. Sometimes the psychological effects they cause afterward seem insurmountable, but they are really not. It is like I said before, it becomes a choice. I have don...

That is a reasonable request and I hope you can get help from a doctor or nutritionist someone. I know exactly what it is like, as I have eczema type reactions on my skin where it blisters and scabs....

That can be a good thing that your collagen is restructuring. Do some gentle massage to the areas it will increase the blood flow.

For those of you that are looking forward to death, and are happy with each day closer, just a few things to think about. You will be dead for eternity and it will be here soon enough. Can't say where...

  Dermaflage didn't work well for me. Concerning doctors, I have pretty much had it with the best one's in America. They just can't fix acne scarring to an acceptable degree yet. Maybe if recel...

Every time I have paid for fillers it has been a waste of money. I started off with restylane a long time ago and it didn't stick around long, maybe a week. Maybe my body chemistry just gets rid of it...

SNDR, I understand your feelings, because I have been there. I felt like I must try to fix my scars to be happy...so I tried, and tried, and maybe some got better but then I ended up getting a few mor...

SNDR, Hey I've been on here as long as you, and I know it can beat you down, but you really don't look so bad from your pics you posted. The filler did help you, although not perfectly, and fillers ne...

I think it's great to try to improve your scars, but realize like I said earlier, it can be a series of disappointments. So, if one is already suicidal, treatments could push you over the edge. Just s...

i would be ugly with or without scars so that helps alot ...lol...its hard to find someone to love if you don't love yourself ...and if your like me u can't look in a mirror without being discusted! ...

Sounds like you've really had it all! Surpising you haven't seen over 40% improvement. The one thing I don't like about the fractora is the breakouts it has causes. Nothing severe, but just annoying. ...

Thanks for your detailed reviews, they are helpful! I just got done with Fractora RF needling (went last Wednesday) and am about completely healed today. I do have some red dots on one side, but I thi...
