Free (ish) Scar Treatment!! (Vinegar and Lemon Method)
OptionC replied to Maya's topic in Scar treatments

Vitamin B-5????
OptionC replied to Warthog's topic in Over-the-counter acne medications and products
I took a look around today at the B5 I do have in my cupboard... most of them were only like 10-20mg. a complete B complex I have, had 50mg per vitamin. How are you supposed to actually get 10g per day? do they sell a B5 thats higher mg than the regular complex? -O -
Vitamin B-5????
OptionC replied to Warthog's topic in Over-the-counter acne medications and products
Do you have to take 10g in the morning? or is it best to spread it out throught the day? -O -
I wouldn't say that it improved my scars. The cysts just gradually went away, preventing newer scars. I had broken out in every possible spot prior to starting accutane, so I really couldn't say if I had broken out somewhere I normally hadn't. Id ask your derm if you can start treating your face with BP or SA to prevent a breakout. See what he has to say, cause once Accutane kicks in fully, you feel like a sun dried cracker. -O

The affects acne has had on me.
OptionC replied to bnp's topic in Emotional and psychological effects of acne
I think the opposite sex has quite a bit to do with acne related depression. I have been trying to make an outline of all the things I feel due to this problem. The subject that comes up very high on the list, is lack of a significant other. I was married for six years, have two beautiful sons. After their mom and I broke up, I was definately LONELY and have been since. I know I do have the company of my little guys, but you know how it is when you go some place and there is that attractive -
Good posts =D> on a side note, not only is it hard on you when your peers talk about your acne, but when your young children do as well. My 5 year old asks every now and then why I have these "dots" on my face. Another thing I find interesting, is when you meet someone new. You know they are looking right at your acne/scars. I constantly get that. Someone will make eye contact with you, and immediatly you can watch their eyes move down and then away or to another focus point. I

My experience with Accutane: First, im pretty new to all the terminology ](*,) so im not exactly sure what Rolling Scars are, so if you can fill me in on that one. (im doing my research, slowly but surely) Second, I was on Accutane twice. The first time I got on it, my cystic acne was so severe, that if I broke out initially I didn't notice it. I was lucky to find a Dr. that helped me out. * I didn't have insurance at the time and couldn't afford the obscene price, so he would give

Wow, ive just started reading through many of these treatment options. I have very severe scaring from cystic acne, and the majority of my face is pretty scared. Can this procedure be used for the whole face? Seems like most of the treatments ive seen, are geared toward 5 or 6 deep scares here or there, and various other types of minor scaring. Can anyone recommend other types of procedures that are favorable for cystic acne scaring? This one sounds pretty promising at least. Thanks
