How's your scarring now?

Anyone here have updates? This gives me some hope!

Hi Alisha  No, acne is not your fault so don't be hard on yourself about it. Obviously you're not going out of your way to give yourself acne so of course it's not your fault. Look closely...

Yeah I think that's too much exfoliating. You should probably just get a better moisturizer to combat the dryness. I like using jojoba oil and shea butter  

Interesting, I was on it for about 7 months and I don't recall any changes.. But I already had a problem of spotting and heavy bleeding and was also on a 3-month cycle birth control. I think I remembe...

Aloe vera could be good for burns, especially if you can get it straight from the plant! For moisturizer I love using jojoba oil and shea butter, I wonder if those wouldn't irritate as much to put on ...

I second trying spironolactone if you've found hormonal medication (Dianette) has helped you in the past! Try that before even considering Accutane. Spironolactone can take quite awhile to kick in tho...

"Minor" acne can be just as distressing as any other acne. It all depends on the person. Some people don't care about their acne at all! Mine was actually a lot worse than yours though for awhile. Di...

Yeah I would definitely say it's not perioral dermatitis, but the treatment for that is a topical antibiotic, not a steroid, so yikes. Steroids can provoke acne so it makes sense you broke out more. T...

Any updates from people here who had this problem?

Wow some of you people are ridiculous. "Well since my diet never affected my acne, I declare that this means there is absolutely no correlation between diet and acne. And this applies to everyone in t...

Interesting.. It looks like a blackhead that pushed itself out to me. Surprising it hasn't broken off by now though, it looks like you could just pull it out without pressure.

They look like they could be chemical burns. You might want to apply something like Neosporin and moisturize the areas regularly if you don't already.

I don't have acne anymore but I have some minor scars and just overall my skin doesn't look great anymore to me. Yes I avoid people a lot more now. I think I also avoid eye contact when I can, but it ...

Hi @benroberto I know you said you won't be returning but I'll reply anyways. I read your first post and skimmed the rest. I was in a similar situation. Clear, perfect skin for the first 20 years of m...

lasers should be your last option, there are many other treatments which is safer, cheaper, and probably more effective than lasers, but in the meanwhile you can use some cream for scars, like mederma...

Got the same problem, indented linear scars on my forehead, about 4 months into Accutane and it has continued since. I'm devastated. You're not crazy. It's real. Any updates?

I've been getting spontaneous scarring (looks like fingernail indented prints) on my forehead during around my 4th month of Accutane until now. I just took my last pill (5th month) last night. I had j...

@Chloe123 Scars as in actual indents in my skin, not hyperpigmentation. Hyperpigmented spots aren't scars.

@skinnie Me too, because I had "perfect" skin for 20 years then bam. And the scars are my fault from picking at my face, they're not from any actual pimples/acne breakouts. Gotta wait at least 6 month...

If it's not flat or raised and just discolored, then it's probably hyperpigmentation, which fades over time.
