I did try chemical peels but as this doctor stated he thinks the best chemical peel for me to get any results would be the Baker-Gordon peel. It is a phenol peel. I have read those can be pretty ris...

Since I recently moved and there is this top doc plastic surgeon nearby I went in for a consult on anything and everything he does for acne scars. I have to say he is one the most honest doctors I've ...

apply some polysporin to it and don't touch for awhile. Doesn't look good, you will probably have some scarring there, but could go away with time.

sent you a pm. Just keep it covered, it will heal eventually, probably better than you think.

I have put a dab of polysporin under the hydrocolloid bandaids before, if it is open. If it isn't and there isn't a present infection, there is no need. Sometimes the bandaid will actually draw out ...

You can do a punch excision on very small in diameter scars. I think it is the best option for smaller scars like icepicks. I often wonder if I have some undiagnosed condition too! Maybe even a thy...

Sorry you're going through this! I'm not sure what caused your scar this time, was it picking at acne? Sounds like it is raw, so when that happens to me and I know I an going to spend a few days at ...

You could try the dermastamp on the individual scars that bother you most, but probably will do nothing for the bigger pores. I use a dermastamp from owndoc.com and recently got the suction pump as we...

Looks good so far! Maybe you should take benadryl for the itching, I've read that helps!

That is interesting about the scars appearing more, maybe you should look into a nutritionist since the accutane may have caused deficiencies in certain vitamins. Things like borage oil and evening p...

Sorry to hear about your results. I was thinking if you had PRP after the subcision ( a little confused on the order of your treatments) that acts like a filler and would wear off after four months. ...

I have been kind of down about my scarring today, don't really have much acne anymore, but when I do get it, it can scar quickly which makes me freak. I think I do have to be careful about letting my...

Not sure, but I would think you could stay on a retinoid forever, it is good for anti-aging. It is basically vitamin A. Just don't tan with it, because it makes you burn easier. And when you are pr...

I was your pic of your forehead, and my own is not so far off. I think the cream could help you if you use it long term. I have some scars in between rolling and boxcar they basically look like deepe...

If you have true tissue loss, it is very hard to ever see a real difference. However, with acne scars there is different type of collagen that is often produced. Sometimes when you reinjure the loca...

I have recently been using refissa .05 cream. It has been making a nice difference on the texture of my forehead. I have been spot treating my scars on the rest of my face as well, but kind of early ...

I've had some scars like that and they didn't respond well to filler. Maybe for a few days or weeks the swelling and filler will plump it up but then it goes back. Subcision or needling might help.

Yeah that's what I'm worried about with Sculptra, but a lot of what I'm seeing won't respond to a traditional filler so I don't know. Recell would be done in conjuction with laser, no? I had a consult...

Hey Keribee - I understand and worry about the same thing. I want to show my daughter everything and enjoy doing so many different things with her. There's so much fun to be had and so much to share. ...

I have been kind of down about my scarring today, don't really have much acne anymore, but when I do get it, it can scar quickly which makes me freak. I think I do have to be careful about letting my...

It is true that we shouldn't take our health for granted. Our skin organs aren't the best but some people do suffer daily physical pain. Also, my step grandma is actually going blind with macular deg...

I am 37 and have a seven year old and honestly, even though he see my skin problems and see the various products and things I go through with my skin to try to fix my scars, he still says I am beautif...

Hey! Sorry you are going through stressful times now, I used to pick too because of stress and OCD. You can visit the site stoppickingonme.com if you haven't heard of it. My skin didn't scar much a...

what you are describing with your dermaroller is normal. I buy mine from owndoc.com. I think the cheap or expensive ones listed are good.

I think it will get better for you with time, just don't make the mistake of overtreating your skin because it can be just as bad as the picking. Be gentle and prevent breakouts. If you still have sc...
