I don't see any indentations, just pigmented marks. Do you wear sunscreen? If not, that should be your first step since the sun will cause them to darken. BHA/AHA could help too, just be careful not t...

Your results are fantastic, hopefully the majority of the improvement is permanent. Thanks for taking the time to post, I think hope is an aspiration a lot of us tend to lose sight of.

Time to look for another dermatologist, and continue looking until you find one that isn't pushing lasers. Good luck.

Hello, Does anyone have any success stories regarding pore size? TCA cross seems to be the best option but carries with it the chance that the pore will widen. Just wondering if anyone has successful...

They're enlarged pores, TCA cross is the only thing I'm aware of that might be effective in minimizing their appearance.

I know it's disappointing but even the most expensive creams won't do anything for atrophic scarring. There are treatments with varying degrees of success depending on the type of scar being treated: ...

Generally, EGF creams are used after needling (or damaging the epidermis) to stimulate collagen growth,

Some people look down on them because of the risks involved, always do as much research as you can before jumping into anything invasive, check out RealSelf or the laser damage support forum:

Your results are very impressive, thanks for taking the time to post and keeping us updated. Try not to stress over the bumps/needle insertion marks, I'm sure your surgeon can address them if they bot...

Husky, That has been my life too since this happened, a never ending loop of anxiety and depression. I hope it gets better for you.

This is exactly what happened to me, except I was using Retin-A topically. I'm not sure how to describe this, but from my experience it made my skin "mushy", the lines you mention after waking up soun...

Retin-A can cause temporary inflammation which would make the scars appear less pronounced but is not an effective scar treatment.

Look into saline injection(s) or filler, either would be preferable to excision in my opinion.

I would be careful, alot of the issues I have were caused by using an AHA lotion - after a few weeks I started noticing holes and dents in my skin, this was over a year and a half ago.

Dermaflage is considered the standard and used by a lot of people in the entertainment industry, it is supposed to bebe very effective at hiding scarring and imperfections though I have no experience ...

You shouldn't do anything to your skin while on Accutane, your skin is much more sensitive and susceptible to damage.

When was the excision performed and do you have a picture of the original scar before surgery? Collagen formation is unfortunately a slow process and can take up to 12 months so take solace in knowing...

I know how you feel, I've done more damage to my own face than acne has. If you still have scabbing keep it moist with Polysporin, the damage should get better with time. I have some large pores as we...

You probably shouldn't combine the two; start dermarolling for a while first, then when you're done give it a reasonable period of time and try the chemical peels - combining the two could lead to und...

More than likely a big cyst, keep it moist and covered with a gauze pad, if you had something more sinister going on you'd have other symptoms as well.

You should choose your words carefully; some people have it much worse and might take offense.   Peels could help (AHA/Glycolic/Sacylic) or TCA (much stronger) but be careful as you could expon...

Hey guys, About 3 months ago I managed to screw my skin up, I was on topical Retin-A and noticed that I was starting to get scars very easily (at the time I didn't think they were permanent) and real...
