I went to a different dermatologist today to get advice about scarring and I happened to have a pustule with an obvious White head in my left cheek. He told me that it is OK to squeeze superficial pustules as they will not leave a permanent scar. His theory is that it is only pimples deeper in the skin that cause scarring. He said it will heal much quicker if the pus is gone. i thought I was dreaming. Surely he's not right?? It goes completely against anything I've ever been told.

Hi all i know some of you are going to be annoyed with me again for posting about my 'one little hole', but trust me, this 'little hole' has really upset me and the rest of my skin is far from perfect anyway. This was one hole that broke the camels back. The he first photo was taken 1.5 months after having a cyst injected with cortisone. The second photo was today. The lighting isn't totally identical, but I can definitely see improvement now. What do you think? I'm hoping for total resol

Is an initial outbreak normal from isotretinoin gel?
bee4acne replied to bee4acne's topic in Prescription acne medications
Hi Delovely, I've copied and pasted from the information site: About isotretinoin gel Type of medicine A rub-on (topical) retinoid Used for Mild-to-moderate acne Also called Isotrex®; Isotrexin® (contains isotretinoin and erythromycin) Available as Gel -
I there i was prescribed isotretinoin gel by my dermatologist and I have been using it for 5 weeks. I have had a really bad initial outbreak, particularly on my chin, but is this normal? I would have thought that the antibiotic in the gel should counteract an initial outbreak. Your thoughts are welcome

Had a third opinion today and they won't fill in. Feeling Ill with it all. If only I hadn't had cortisone shots. My derm said to wsit 6 months and then have subsicion. He said I can hide them with my hair!!!

It definitely feels like a hole. Like someone has pressed in with their fingertip and the indentation stayed there.

I'm in London too. Can you let me know where your log is please? many thanks -
Hi guys im about to start Accutane for Lithium induced acne. I'm 41 and female and my acne is much much better than it used to be but I still get around 2-3 large red pustules a month which scar and make me very depressed. will Accutane help with this? Also, I've heard that Accutane makes your existing scars appear much much worse as in redder and more indented. Is this true? thanks for any advice.
