How can I treat cystic acne scars without prescription meds or a natural way?
July 16th, 2010Question: How can I treat cystic acne scars without prescription meds or a natural way?
I’ve been off accutane for a few months but now I have a few cystic acne scars on the side of my face from the severe acne I had. What kind of cream could I use or natural supplement could I take to heal the scars, repair the ruined skin or make the cystic acne scars shrink.
Please do not advocate any facial peels, physician prescription drugs or injections. I’ve had a few shots of cortizone to the scars but with minimal results and I spent a lot of $$. I’m currently using over the counter Cicaplast cream which costs me for a small tube.

get vitamin E gel capsules, break them, and rub the gel over your scars. or try emu oil. I’ve used vitamin E on scars before and it’s really helped them disappear and diminish. I’ve heard emu oil can also help, but I’ve never tried it myself.

Vitamin E (comes in capsules & ointment) is the best natural topical for any scars & it wouldn’t hurt to try Apple-Cider Vinegar to help prevent acne..about 1tbsp three times a day. It doesn’t taste very good so maybe mix it in a drink (&/or add honey). This is only one of the many things vinegar helps. Let me know what happens. Good Luck.

1) Cook oatmeal and apply on face for fifteen minutes and wash.
2) Make a warm bath with blanch of nettle and rosemary.
3) Apply equal amount of lemon juice and rose water with a cotton ball and wash it after haif an hour for 15 to 20 days.
