How to treat acne scarring?
January 31st, 2009Question: How to treat acne scarring?
Hi everyone. I’m 15 years old (male) and just completed 2 courses of Accutane. My skin is still terrible however, with many, many, left behind acne scars on my cheeks. I have lived with them for a LONG time, and nothing is working to help them fade, not even time itself.
I have used scarring medications each day, vitamin E cream, and even Penaten cream, each single night for a long period of time. They haven’t decreased the amount of redness or noticeability of my scars.
I feel terrible. My friends sometimes comment and jokingly tease me about them(What great friends huh?). I laugh it off, but it hurts deep inside.
Is there anything I could do? Or is the only option to save up for surgery?

The products you are using, are they Salsylic Acid or Benzoyl peroxide? BP can be VERY drying. I personally like SA better. Salsylic acid it really good. It is in almost all acne washes. Benzoyl Peroxide is too drying for me! Try finding a face lotion with SA in it. Clean and Clear has a good moisturizer with SA and it helps keep pimples at bay. It is only about $5 a bottle and lasts about 2 months and you can get it at your local store. I have used this in the past and it works well. Personally, I use Biore products (which you get over the counter. Their products range from $5-$10). They are harsh on pimples, but not on your face.
Personally, Proactive didn’t work for me. I have been using Biore products for over a year and I hardly ever break out! Occasionally I will get one or two, but nothing bad. I use Biore Ice Cleanser for acne and Biore warming facial scrub every morning for blackheads (This stuff works. I notcied a DRASTIC difference in my blackheads being GONE within 2 weeks) . And then 3-4 day s a week I use Biore purging pore cream scrub. For body acne I use Neutrogena acne body wash I never break out on my body. It gets 110 in summer so sweat in inevitably, yet I never break out. Give it a try. All of it is cheap too. About $5-10 depending on what you buy! I think you will just need to experiment with products until you find what works for you. Remember, it can take 1 month for products to fully begin working! Good Luck!
