Hi

Have you tried accutane?

I agree whit Leopold

This is OT but I had never heard of mr hands..

..HAHA!

"What's ironic about it is that the previous day, I had told myself I was lucky to have clear cheeks. Not anymore. "

Well, can relate to that. :S

Im not really sure but you should defenetly tell your doctor about it as soon as possible.

The scar can spread if you form keloids easyly. Its genetic. Im not sure how much does the skill of the doctor/nurse got to do whit the results of the shots.

Im 20. Iv had acne sence 13. Its been moderate to mild most times. However when i was around 16 to 18 it was quite severe. Iv taken accutane 3 times and it has always helped but my acne has returned after couple of monts. Its been about a month sence i quite accutane again. How ever my biggest problem has never been acne but the SCARS!

I have severe hypertrophic (raised) scars on my chest/shoulders/back-area and moderate to mild dented scars on my face.

There is hope to fix the dented scars but absolutely no hope for the hypertrophic scarring! They look like pimples! I have about 100 tiny RED scars. They range from 1mm to about 2cm. Nothing has worked to fix the redness, which is my main concern. Sence it makes them look just like acne! I even tryed pulse laser, but it didnt work! There is no hope and i have to live whit them till the day i die and i simply cant take off my shirt in public. I have totally isolated myself from the rest of the world. My shrink tells me i just have mental problems but she hasnt even seen the scarring and she just does not understand. i dont see how my life could improve. Im totally lost. Im suppose to go back to school in few weeks but i just dont know if i can keep myself there. What do you think I should do?

Severe scarring is defenetly NOT a blessing. :S

All i can say is that your story is quite normal here on acne.org. Making your skin worse whit treatments.. so common : / There are alot of people like you. Like me, exept that i have like a hundred keloids all over my body. Its very good that your getting help. Stretch marks will fade in time. Iv heard that some creams can help fade them. What did your derm say about the eczema?

Thanks for the replys ppl! Im quite desperate as iv taken accutane 3 times and i recently just broke out abit.

If this poll would be on the scar forum.. most people would pick clear skin

Just think how much worse your skin could be! To me it looks good. If you have felt bad about your skin for along time i recommed therapy. It can help alot.

Could it be that what you eat has no or very little effect on your skin but its just your mind playing tricks? Like when you eat something you consider "unhealthy" or "junkfood" you brake out becouse of the feelings you have about the food you eat? Emotions can ofcourse effect skin, like peoples heads can get red when they get angry or when they blush. What do you think?

This one girl that i havent seen in 5 years.. I have a dream well meet again in a nursing home someday when we are 80 or so, and then we can die together.

i used to always sit on the train with my right side to the window as that is where most of my scars are located,

i felt like a total freak if i couldnt get my window seat.

How did you do the needeling?

To gain weight, try adding lots of unheated oil to everything you eat. Its healthy too!

Thanks for giving me some hope!

Plus, during the lectures I sit at the corner. Also, while walking I use the other side of the pavement. Sometimes its really funny. for eg. If I try and present my better side (by some awkward maneuvering) to some girl/s who happens to pass by, sometimes she/they mistakenly assume that I am trying to make a pass on them while all I am trying to do is to look presentable.

Yes! Do it!

And let us know what happend!

Exercise is good. You could recycle some of your old furniture and buy new ones. Makes your apartment/house feel fresh.

Its like cannabis, its so easy to blame it from everything!

The left side of my face has moderate scarring and right has mild scarring, so i understand what you mean by trying to hide the worst side of your face. I do it all the time too! Drives me crazy! I have no idea do people know that i do this.

Red keloids (from acne) all over my body! They are like eternal acne. Iv found no cure for the redness. :/
