ughhhhh

I honestly hate jojoba, it makes me feel gross.

Ouch, so sorry this happened to you... Did you sign any papers where you accepted the risks of the procedure before doing it? Months ago I did, of course I didn't know he would use such a high dose...

A plastic surgeon today told me he thought this was scarring, and that fillers would not help because its bound down. Not sure I believe him, he went straight for the laser sell. I still called my der...

Unfortunately this is not cystic acne, so I'm not sure that Dr Neals or acne.org will be able to help you. What exactly is the AcnePractice doing that is different from a normal dermatologist? Did you...

I would jump on the saline injection bandwagon as quick as possible. Im really sorry you are going through this but please heed my advice, toughen up now and get to the bottom of this. No matter what ...

You may want to wait with the excision. I've heard that steroid atrophies usually fill in, although it can take a few months or even up to a year. I've never got cortisone shots myself, so I haven't d...

My (ex) dermatologist injected what he thought was scar tissue with 8mg solution of kenalog, only for me to find out later that is WAY TOO MUCH. It has looked like this for 6 weeks now and I feel like...

You can always call them and let them know your fears, especially about being outside. I saw a girl who got some pretty extreme sun blisters from being on a high dose. You can always lower yourself as...

It is a side effect of accutane. It should go away when you're finished with your course. If you do a search for "tane face" or "tane burn" you'll get lots of other people with the same.

Laser would help for some of the scars, and my derm is hopeful that the atrophy will go away.... I'm not so sure. I will have to wait a year for the one on my forehead to get cut out, thats how long y...

Why is this topic still open? It has completely derailed.

They can put you on a cholesterol medication if they are worried about it. I've never heard of a case of cholesterol not going back down, but I have heard of derms putting people on meds for it. I'm s...

I'd like to know this too, I had my scar flatten for 3 weeks and then it just popped back up, I'm losing my mind.

They don't mean like that, more like a rolling scar, just an actual indentation. You have an open wound. I would go to a doctor, you could get staph.

Thats definitely not scarring its just swelling post procedure. DamnLife - I thought about what the Dr's said to you again and also remembered: you have so many scars and you need enough skin for the...

Why would people want to undertake a method they don't know anything about without any proof that it works? You've been posting for weeks that this is a miracle but you won't post any proof. Of course...

I am actually on Ativan which is anti anxiety, not anti depressant. I may be starting on zoloft soon myself. I haven't noticed an increase in acne from the Ativan. There's no link to current antidepre...

It's because of people like you that I have such severe scarring. I had severe nodulocystic acne and I delayed proper treatment thinking I could cure myself with diet. I am now deformed and will be fo...

I have a hypertrophic scar and it has been shot with steroids three times and has recurred every time. (Even after completely atrophying) Hypertrophic scars are just as hard to treat, they just don't ...

Blurriness could be because of dryness. Are you using drops? See if it improves with them.

Call around to other surgeons. They probably don't want to treat you because there is a high chance of recurrence, so getting them cut out is not the only thing you have to do. You will likely have to...

It's been like this for months. Get a syntax error any time you try to access a blog from a user's profile. Incredibly annoying.

The only antidepressant I know of to actually cause acne is lithium, and thats a proven side effect. I think lowering your stress levels is a good idea, however you have to do it.

Do you think that nothing else could cure your back acne? Is it cystic or just widespread? If you were to give topicals a real try do you think they could help? If you are experiencing side effects th...
