How do I get rid of acne scars?

I used to pick at my face before, so it left me some scars on my face. How do I get rid of it and I don't care how much it costs....Thanks!How do I get rid of acne scars?
1. Stop popping! It's tempting, but honestly, it make things worse. If you absolutely must pop, make sure that the area and your fingers are clean and disinfected. Best method of dealing with acne scars and cuts is just to let your body do the works. Keep the irritated area clean and use as little make-up on the area as possible.





2. Use a Scar Treatment. For post-inflammatory hyper-pigmentation (brown or red marks on the skin) try something like ';Zenmed's Scar Treatment Kit';, Neutrogena Advanced Solutions Acne Mark Fading Peel. Mederma is also a good ';spot'; treatment. For ';ice picks'; or ';crater-like'; scars, which are actual dents in the skin, often the most effective treatment is seeing a doctor.





3. Moisturize and protect. Always use an oil-free moisturizer that has SPF. Try Body Guard Exquisitely Light SPF 30 For Face %26amp; Body.





4. Triple Antibiotic ointment If you put this on overnight, it will fade your scars and get rid of them. Don't put too much on in one spot, it can cause your skin to get overly oily





Good luck :)

The lionk below has great info on acne care and treatment.Acne scars?
Neutrogena Advanced Solutions Acne Mark Fading Peel





At bedtime use it as a spot treatment for acne scars and sleep with it on your face!





Also, Beta-Carotene Vitamins and Vitamin C are great for the skin, I take them everyday.





Also, drink lots of water, NO SODA or carbonated drinks!
I'm 42 yrs old, and I've had moderate acne for about 10 yrs now. I've used all the creams to dry up the acne,and found, that I'm aging faster, (wrinkles, skin discoloration, etc), until one day I read on the internet, that its good to spot treatment , and with very little saylic acid, but to apply a oil free moisurizer, and at times, I've used vitamen E oil, (just a dab over nite). Please don't scrub your face a hundred times a day, because you will look older then you should. 2-3 times a day is sufficient, and a good moisurizer.
Not to eat oily foods. Dont wash your face with soap, use face wash you buy from chemist. Dont use make up, you might be allergic to chemical present in make ups. Careful not to kiss someone with facial hair, that could aggrevate acne.
use retin-A micro (a prescription) It dries out your skin at first but after a couple of months your skin looks great. Talk to a dermatologist and follow the directions! Overuse is not good and you cannot use it if pregnant or plan on becoming pregnant.

    My girlfriend has had great success treating scars with a derma roller. It also works for hyper pigmentation.





    It is basically a skin roller with tiny pins in it which tickle when you roll it over your skin. Scars are often due to a lack of collagen in the skin - which makes skin smooth, supple and tight - but a derma roller triggers your skin's natural healing process to generate more collagen.





    It also helps your favourite creams penetrate the skin better. Without it, over 90% of your cream is left on the outside of your skin!





    Negative effects have never been reported, so it is very safe, and yet very effective at evening out your skin.





    There is an article about acne scars here:

    And you can also read up on how derma rollers work here:

    http://www.zenmed.com/skincare/scartreat鈥?/a>
    Yes there is a low cost metho :). It is topical vitamin-C and Copper Peptide. It is a two step process. First you exfoliate using 1-2% salicyclic acid or 7-15% glycolic acid to encourage the removal of damaged skin proteins and then the application of Topical-Vitamin C or Copper Peptide to stimulate the generation of collagen and skin repair. Check out http://www.acnetreatmentlab.com for more information and how to make your own topical vitamin-C
    Hi there!





    One of the most common acne scar treatment is laser resurfacing, or the application of soft and highly focused light on the surface of the skin to ';burn'; acne. However, this approach is only advisable for minor acne types like blackheads, whiteheads, and pimples. Laser resurfacing is actually the closest literal equivalent of actual ';acne removal'; technique that is currently available. This is because laser resurfacing will actually remove acne. Since burning would naturally produce scars, people are quite hesitant to avail of this acne removal method. But such worries are unfounded. Laser resurfacing also includes a post-burning treatment that would stimulate the instant growth of collagen.

    You can try using Vitamin E oil (buy the pure stuff in the bottle or use the capsuls). It takes awhile to work, but you can see them lighten alot after 3 months or so. I got mine from walgreens in a bottle .. nothing added like aloe vera just PURE vit. e. If you use the capsules just prick it open and apply the oil to your face. Leave it on overnight.





    You can also try Mederma. Its about 30$ and is supposed to work wonders. I think your supposed to massage it onto scars 2-3 times a day. http://www.mederma.com





    Or go to a dermatologist. He/she can prescribe you a skin lightening/bleaching cream that will get rid of your scars .. without the pain of micro and peels.





    Here is the vitamin E oil I have: http://www.walgreens.com/store/product.j鈥?/a> (apply with a q-tip onto face and massage it into your face with your fingers)





    Also drink lots of water!

    Sorry but there are no quick fix cures. I have found that Bio Oil has always worked best for me. It takes time before you see any results but it is worth it in the end. You can get it from major chemist stores (Boots etc) it is quite expensive for the size of the bottle but you only need a drop of oil (literally!) for each application. I hope it works as well for you as it does for me!! Good luck!!!Acne scars?

    It depends how badly you're scarred. Some scars will just disappear in time and you can cover them up with concealer while they're healing. But if they are more permanent, you might consider Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) treatment.





    There's a webpage here which explains what this can do. I hope this helps.





    Good luck!

    How can i get rid of acne scars?

    If you鈥檙e looking for accurate acne information, best to see a dermatologist. Some people believe doctors are predisposed to take the easy way to deal with acne鈥?prescription drugs. But, with many, this simplistic answer may not be the appropriate course of action. Some feel that such prescription drugs just treat the symposium and not the underlying cause. But, a local dermatologist is still your best starting point.


    For me personally, I discovered a great informational acne treatment site. Not only is there good information/articles but I got their audio e-book and following it鈥檚 advice can now say that my acne is a thing of the past! Keep in mind, were all different and there are various types of acne, so what works for some may not be totally effective for all.





    Bottom line, hang in there, you will get past this! Sincere best wishes and good luck.

    I know that Proactiv has a product for lightening scars, but they're very difficult to work with. You have to order a ';system'; (the 3-step system of products), and become a ';member'; (authorize them to bill them on your credit card every month).

    Kari-I assume you are younger and on a ';fixed budget'; and are hoping for something over the counter or generally inexpensive. I never found that cheap cure. I had something called Restilun injected at a doctor's office and all my craters/pitted scars disappeared. It was the only thing that worked. It lasts 6 months but cost $500 in NYC.





    For still red scars as well as active acne, IPL (also known as intense pulse laser or photofacial) will clear up the bacteria of the current acne as well as eliminate redness. I saw this before and after picture and think it was really close to what I experienced. I never found a good picture for Restilun. IPL is about $200 a procedure in NYC.

    I don't think so. But my mom is a Cosmotolgist, and she said that you can go to a dermatologist, and they can get rid of them.
    you could try a product called Pure Empreinte Masque from LANCOME paris... its french so its expensive but it truly works for scars and blemishes its worth it plus if your really desperate just give it a try. u can find it at Macy's ,the Mall (not sold at drug stores)
    Try chemical peelings with AHAs. They will exfoliate the dead cells and increse cell renewal, so your scars will go faster.

    whats the most effective way to get rid of acne scars QUICKLY.


    or at least make the appear lighter for a few hours.Acne scars.?
    Hi there!





    Before you spent loads of money on the commercial creams and lotions, there are some home remedies that you may wish to try to get rid of your irritating pimples. For acne that flares at that time of the month, drink one to two cups of chasteberry tea a day. Some studies have shown that this herb helps regulate female hormones. However, this herb is only effective if you take it at least 2 to 3 months consistently.





    You can also try dabbing vinegar or lemon juice on your pimples. Apply a small portion of the vinegar initially to see if your skin is sensitive to it. Most of the cases, this would not have any sensitivity issues. All vinegars and lemons contain acids that can help flush out pores. Another easy home remedy is to apply aloe vera on your pimples once a day. One study found that 90 percent of skin sores were completely healed with aloe vera within 5 days!

    Acne scars?

    i have acne scars on my forehead from 'bang breakouts'(i grew my bangs out now) but they wont go away. i was thinkin of gettin proactive but the thing is: its for acne! not acne scars. help?Acne scars?
    Bio-oil is supposed to work for scars, and evening out skin tone.





    You can buy it on amazon.com.


    I haven't gotten any get, but I am planning on it!











    Hope things work out!!!Acne scars?
    Proactive is for Acne and Acne prevention. Are you sure they are scars and not Hyper pigmentation's marks? Hyper-pigmentation marks are dark spots that form after a acne cyst have healed. They take a few weeks to many many months to fade away.





    If it is scars Proactive will not make the scars go away.





    Try Bio oil or Mederma for the scars. If you have the money go to the Dermatolgist they have things to rid you of your scars.

    Acne Scars.?

    My skin is extremely sensitive to scarring, and i've had major breakouts on my shoulders and back for about 2 whole years, that are not going away but instead are chosing to remain permanently present. I have tons of scars, and i'm really scared they'll never go away or I'll get more and i'll be speckled forever. How can i stop them from scarring or reduce the scars i already have ? heeelpAcne Scars.?
    go to a professional skin care facility or a dermatologist and they can give you a perscription to creams and maybe pills. I took Nicomide which is actually a perscription vitamin and it helped deminish scars.Acne Scars.?
    First off if you are popping your pimples stop. It only causes more scarring. The best thing you can do is to go to the doctor and get acne medication if you aren't on some already. You don't always have to take medication, the doctor might give you a topical cream. They work really well, and using a good clenser too helps. I'm not sure how you can get rid of the scars you have, but try talking to a dermatologist. They are the best resource for your skin. But to prevent any further scarring, try using a good cleanser, I recommend Phisoderm and Spectroderm. You can also use goat's milk soap, it helps clean your skin without drying it out.
    Go see a dermatologist. You can get micordermabraison, which will gently sand away the scars. You might even be able to get a cream to use.





    Also, your derm will put you on an antibiotic to stop the acne and tell what products to start using to make this go away forever.





    trust me I know, I had the same problem. If you have insurance, most of your treatment will be covered.





    In closing.... go to the dermatologists.
    You need to visit a dermatologist and get a prescription and scar treatment. The prescription will prevent you from getting acne and that will save you lots of money in the long run.





    There are loads of Internet sites the rate acne treatments. Once you know the name of the medication, you can look up the price online. Then call a dermatologist and ask how much money it would cost to get the doctor to write this prescription. You can get estimates for other treatments when you visit. Then you will need to get a job that will cover the cost of the doctor visit and the prescription. I used to starve myself at lunchtime so I could save my school lunch money.
    Im not sure if u hav heard of bio oil...its this really good oil that gets rid of scars...and i kno cos i hav used it myself for acne and other scars...but its quite expensive....so depends on how much money u are willing to spend on it...if not...go into boots or superdrug...look for bio oil and get a similar product as i am sure they work just as well...





    If not...juts make sure u cream ur face every day...with creams and oils...and yeah try not to scratch or pick spots...





    i hope this helps





    =D
    I agree with the above! Bio oil has done wonders for me!! Rub it on maybe twice a day! It evens out skin tone and tightens your skin. You can get it in Boots for aound €13. I think you can get it in dunnes and tesco too. Hope it works out for u... x
    don't scratch ur scars or acne u should but coco butter on the


    ones u already hav
    I hope that you're not picking and squeezing them, cause that totally leaves a mark.





    Oh and by the way theyre not scars I dont know why everyone keeps calling them acne scars but youre in luck, THEYRE NOT SCARS :)





    Its called post-hyper inflammatory pigmentation I dont know how exactly it works but Im guessing it has to do with the melanin which is also responsible for blackheads appearing





    Anyways what you want to do is exfoliate. If you dont know what that is let me put it simply...........





    Exfoliating is when you scrub your skin with an abrasive, you've seen those cleansers with the grainy, beady, gritty round things facial scrubs. Exfoliating sheds the top layer of the skin revealing newer softer radiant skin. This will help a lot with the marks. Exfoliating also helps speed cell renewal.





    Buy Aveeno facial and body moisturizer with Soy extract. Soy is scientifically proven to diminish discoloration like sun spots, age spots, and best of all brown spots! (from acne)


    Do your homework.... go to google or something the more you educate yourself about skincare the better youll be at solving skin problems.





    Oh yeah i forgot to mention that exfoliating is great for unclogging pores and preventing breakouts from shedding those dead skin cells





    Acne is a mixture of excess sebum (oil)


    dead skin cells


    bacteria





    For someone who has a lot of skin problems like me, acne, hyper pigmentation marks, razor bumps, I'll do anything to get rid of them!





    Remember skin care is important because your skin is the largest organ and protects your internal organs. So you should really take good care





    When you think of


    soy, you probably think health


    food. From tofu to soymilk, the


    nutritional benefits of this mighty


    little bean have been well documented.


    Now, there is promising


    research into the new benefits of


    soy...for the skin, according to new


    findings released at the American


    Academy of Dermatology Meeting


    in Washington, D.C.


    “This new research shows that


    soy has even greater benefits for


    the skin than researchers and


    physicians previously understood,”


    says Jeannette Graf, M.D.,


    a clinical researcher on soy and a


    dermatologist in private practice.


    According to recent research by


    the Skin Research Center at Johnson


    %26amp; Johnson Consumer Companies,


    Inc., soy proteins can even


    out skin tone and texture and


    reduce the appearance of a wide


    variety of skin discolorations, such


    as age or sun spots.


    “This is exciting news in dermatology.


    Skin discoloration is one


    of the most difficult problems that


    dermatologists treat. Current


    therapies are often irritating, ineffective


    and expensive. This new


    discovery opens many new options,”


    according to Dr. Graf.


    Additionally, these new findings


    demonstrate that soy reduces


    the appearance of redness


    caused by acne and sun exposure.


    It also seems gentle enough for


    every-day use.


    These benefits of soy are captured


    in a line of facial care products


    just introduced by AVEENO®,


    a pioneer in the study of natural


    ingredients for efficacious skin


    care. The moisturizers in this


    line contain naturally-active soy


    extracts with Vitamins A and C


    and are clinically proven to even


    skin tone and texture, resulting


    in brighter, more radiant skin.


    These are the first soy-based


    products available in mass market


    outlets.


    “Patients now have easy-touse


    and affordable options to


    treat bothersome skin discolorations.


    Even more exciting,


    research has only begun to


    understand the benefits of soy for


    skin care, and the future holds


    the promise for more exciting discoveries,”


    says Dr. Graf.

    Acne scars......?

    how can i get rid of them by the next 2 days.


    i have a very important wedding to go to.


    and i want them to be gone.

    It will take more than 2 days to get rid of scars but there are ways to hide them for the time being. G.M Collin makes a product called Visible Lifting Concentrate which will immediately plump the skin and make your make-up go on smoother and the scars won't be visible and you don't have to glob the make-up on. Oil of Olay also makes a product but I don't know if it works as fast. As for long term I can give the name of some products / inexpensive treatments that can get rid of the scars permanently. Let me know if you have trouble finding the product or if you would like help to get rid of the scars after the wedding. How long it takes to permanently get rid of them depends on your skin type, so I would need more info from you before I can advise on that. Hope this helps!
    Well you wont get rid of a scar in 2 nights. But this is what you use if you have time. www.platinumskincare.com


    Its chemical peels. The kind you pay $80 for 1 treatment, But its $80 for a bottle that will be good for 20 treatments.


    I use it, its the ONLY thing that will get rid of my scars. Laser treatment didnt even work for me. Neither did accutane and any other high dollar do it all meds.
    If you pinched those scars, they will stick with you forever. If you didn't, try hiding them with makeup, like Clinique's powders.

    Acne scars?

    umm, may i ask how to remove or fade acne scars. well in 7th grade i used to like pop pimples, which made it worse. if i knew it would spread i wouldnt have done it! help T_TAcne scars?
    Acne scarring is perhaps worse than the acne itself.





    My acne scars weren't horrible. They probably weren't even that noticeable after I put on my foundation. However, I certainly noticed them and that was all it took to bother ME.





    If you've got acne scars, you may feel a bit helpless. But you don't have to because there are alternatives to getting rid of acne scars. And you CAN do something about it.





    So what do you do about it? Well, there is totally a solution ... actually there are many.





    These are NATURAL treatments.





    Now, just because you hear the word ';natural';, I don't want you to shake your head and think you need to just buy some over the counter miracle cream. These remedies WORK! And you'll find that by consistently using them, your acne scars WILL fade just like mine did.





    So without further ado, here are my favorite natural acne scar solutions:





    Vitamin E


    Don't underestimate the power of this healing lotion. You can get it at any drugstore in topical form. I have a HUGE bottle of it under my sink :) . Vitamin E naturally heals scars by moisterizing the damaged skin. Use it everyday to fade away acne scars.





    Cocoa Butter


    This one should be used carefully. If your acne is not already under control, cocoa butter does pose the threat of additional breakouts. However, if you're using the 3 Day Cure technique and your skin is finally clear, this is a powerful healing tool. Cocoa Butter will soften skin, lighten the scars and make them fade into nothing. I love this one. By the way, Cocoa Butter also works great on fading stretch marks.





    Honey


    Okay, this is totally gonna change your life! Honey works overtime on acne %26amp; acne scars. Yes, Honey! When I first learned about this natural remedy, I was pretty bewildered. The sound of it alone is confusing. Honey is a sticky, sugary substance. How can it possibly clear up skin?





    Honey kills bacteria while simultaneously lessens the red look of irritated skin. The acidity in the honey evens out your skin tone, shrinks current pimples and will give your skin a softer feel. Listen, I know you may be skeptical of this solution. I was at first, then I tried it. This natural acne scar remedy works great.





    Lemon


    Lemon will help clear up acne as well as fade acne scars. Plus your face will smell like a freshly shined harwood floor, so that's a plus ;)





    The acidity in the juice will lighten the redness of the scars and balance your skin's pH levels to prevent future breakouts. Give it a shot.





    You can find a lot of other natural acne treatments and acne scar treatments through the source link below.

    I have some acne but mostly acne scars and I need something to get rid of the redness of the scars without clogging my pores. What could I use?Acne scars??

    You may want to use some botanical creams which are more natural solutions. Other things that cost a little more may include 1)facials, 2)dermatologists, 3)laser treatments, and 4)heat treatments. Contine to maintain your current acne regiment so that you don't have more breakouts and fight the urge to pop more pimples so that these nasty scars won't be a problem in the future. I would also recommend cocoa butter and/or maderma to rub on the current scars. Hope that helps!

    Acne scars?

    i have acne scars they arnt bad but how can i get rid of them/make them less noticable without using alot of money.





    p.s dont say makeupAcne scars?
    It really depends on what type of scarring that you have. If you have red marks or darkened areas then you have a couple of options. You should start using a cleanser that has an exfoliant in it. The exfoliant will remove dead skin cells and encourage new skin cell growth. The new skin cell growth will start to bring out the original color of your skin and gradually erase the red marks or dark areas. There are also some OTC creams that you can apply that help to lessen the appearance of scars. You can buy both the exfoliant and the scar cream at any drug store and they are usually not very expensive.





    Another product that works very well is Retin-A, but you will need to see a dermatologist or doctor to get a prescription for it. If you are using Retin-A, it's not a good idea to combine this with any other methods because Retin-A can make skin very sensitive.





    If your scars are more of the ';pitted'; kind, you will need more invasive methods from a dermatologist or cosmetic surgeon for results. The best way to go are injectibles, such as fat, collagen, or Restalyn. You could also go with laser resurfacing, but this is very expensive, is normally not covered by medical insurance, and is very invasive. If this is the way you go, you can meet with the doctor for a consultation and he/she will advise you on which method would be best for you.





    Good luck and hope this helps!Acne scars?
    black soap is great but if you can not ind that then neutrogena cleansing soap is pretty good the original bar

    I don' t know if you want to start another medication, but my dermatologist gave me a cream to put on my skin at night (after washing my face) and I practically have NO more scars, my skin looks amazing. It starts working right away and took only a week to notice the full benefits. It's called Tretinoin.Acne Scars?

    Acne scars....?

    im still using proactiv and its been about a 1.5 months now i guess and my scars are like still here. so i did alot of research and i saw that a really good EXFOLIATOR is what helps the skin clean dead bacteria and then the skin should be able to do it from there and as well as the neutrogena acne-mark fading peel





    anyone know really good exfoliators and if the acne mark fade worked for them?


    thanks!Acne scars....?
    the skin mark fade is okay..not great...try mederma..it's kind of expensive but works well...hope that helpsAcne scars....?
    I had acne really badly in Jr. High and still have scars. I have had no luck with an exfoliator, those will do nothing for scars because they only affect the top layers of skin and the scars go deeper. I use an exfoliating facial scrub every morning and it has not made a difference in my acne scars. You could try Mederma (I haven't personally tried it so I don't know how well it would do for acne scars)...but the only thing I know works is laser resurfacing which is expensive and takes a bit of a recovery period before you'd want to be seen in public again.
    I too have acne,and of course the scars after the pimples.I have tried many products (creams) -Vichy (no result)Avene (again no result)Exfoliac (and again .....)I even tried with Aspirin-no effect and many other ways that I have heard about .Went to cosmetician-just pay for the pain,the unbearable pain and after that I even thanked for it :D:D:DI don't think any exfoliator would help us .You can try.But this things only wash the upper layer of the skin and don't affect the scars.I've too made a resaerch in Internet and found out that these scars can be blemished with a kind of a piling,a chemistry piling,but it is made only by dermatologists,cos it's really dangerous.Let's say it in that way they peel of your face .And you must not stay under the sun because at least one month after this procedure you skin is really sensitive.


    I thin the best way to deal is to go to a really good dermatologist :):):)I itend to do that.It is their job to know how to treat these awful scars :):):):)


    Good luck :):):)
    hmm.,..exfoliating doesnt really help as far as i know..u could try retin-a+sofradex and use it in the night for scars..it will clear ur skin,lighten the face and make the skin soft..ask a dermi before though :]
    Stay away from hydroquonine products, ambi, meladerm, etc....


    use lemon, real lemons you squeeze the juice over time will lighten the scars. Also try godiva, it fades marks well
    godiva? isn't that chocolate????
    i dont know about exfoliator, but i have heard that mederma works well, and i just bought a tube of it for my scars. hope it works!
    erm i think alot of ppl mistaken..acne cannot be cleanse away..u can use tea tree oil and apply on the affected areas...u can also use dainty lavender mask frm sg website at 88db..i tht u can also buy cucumber mask frm sasa..

    Acne scars?

    its gettin annoying...im 15 ,im a dark skinned sri lankan (a country near india) and i have ALOT of scars in my face...will they disapear one day? which product should i use?Acne scars?
    Use 100% cocoa butter or Vitamin E oil! Whichever you use, be consistent with it and you will definitely see results. The cocoa butter should be no more than $2-3 a stick; can be found at a beauty supply store or a natural health store and the Vitamin E oil can be about $6-8 a bottle and is found at a natural health store.


    HOPE THIS HELPS!Acne scars?
    Try NOT to scratch, eat foods with antioxidants (because what you eat DOES matter) and if there is a certified cosmetologist you shoud get chemical peels every month to even out your skin. Don't touch your face, wash it every morning and before going to bed with soap that has salicylic Acid and follow it with an (oil-free) lotion that also contains salicylic acid. I have the same problem but i have light skin and i have red scars all over, which are very visible. But don't give up and try not to stress cuz that also causes acne... Good Luck!
    use proactiv....it is awesome.
    I use apple cider vinager for my acne scars.


    It has lightened mine a lot. I will send you a link. check it out.


    Peace

    You're only 15, skin cells still grow and replenish themselves every 3-4 weeks. At 15 you have optimal skin elasticty and resiliency too. Try an exfoliant like neutrogena face scrub or an apricot face scrub daily, follow w/non scented, oil free moisturizer. Wear sunblock always, sun darkens scars, makes them look worse. Over the next few years, those scars will fade a lot and may be barely noticeable in your 20's. Scars are permanent if deep and only demabrasion or laser treatments will remove deep pitted scarring. Wait a few years first, then decide.

  • Acne Scars?

    I have a couple acne scars which I cover up with foundation. What can I put on it for them to go away? I tryed Vitamen E but it dosen't work. I tried Mederma but thats suck too. What a good way even if it expensive but with out surgical removal? Something I could buy on the counter?Acne Scars?
    try using cocoa butter daily on the scars, ust a small dab on the scar not too muchAcne Scars?
    Here's some help -





    # Apply aloe vera (gel or juice) to heal (and prevent) acne scars. Be careful when you choose your brand because most claim pure organic material. One good brand is Fruit of the Earth. If there's hyperpigmentation, aloe vera can take time to fade them.





    # Rosehip seed oil is another option that can work for you. It can regenerate new skin and fade the skin discoloration caused by acne scarring. Take time to massage onto scars twice daily.





    # Lavender oil is also used to promote new cell regeneration to improve acne scars. Gently massage onto affected area.
    Bio-Oil works great for any type of scars and stretch marks.
    put lemon juice on them for 5-10 minutes a day until they're gone it works for me
    Try Bio oil
    I know you said, Vitamin E didn't work - i still included it in this list of solutions though...





    Acne scarring is perhaps worse than the acne itself.





    My acne scars weren't horrible. They probably weren't even that noticeable after I put on my foundation. However, I certainly noticed them and that was all it took to bother ME.





    If you've got acne scars, you may feel a bit helpless. But you don't have to because there are alternatives to getting rid of acne scars. And you CAN do something about it.





    So what do you do about it? Well, there is totally a solution ... actually there are many.





    These are NATURAL treatments.





    Now, just because you hear the word ';natural';, I don't want you to shake your head and think you need to just buy some over the counter miracle cream. These remedies WORK! And you'll find that by consistently using them, your acne scars WILL fade just like mine did.





    So without further ado, here are my favorite natural acne scar solutions:





    Vitamin E


    Don't underestimate the power of this healing lotion. You can get it at any drugstore in topical form. I have a HUGE bottle of it under my sink :) . Vitamin E naturally heals scars by moisterizing the damaged skin. Use it everyday to fade away acne scars.





    Cocoa Butter


    This one should be used carefully. If your acne is not already under control, cocoa butter does pose the threat of additional breakouts. However, if you're using the 3 Day Cure technique and your skin is finally clear, this is a powerful healing tool. Cocoa Butter will soften skin, lighten the scars and make them fade into nothing. I love this one. By the way, Cocoa Butter also works great on fading stretch marks.





    Honey


    Okay, this is totally gonna change your life! Honey works overtime on acne %26amp; acne scars. Yes, Honey! When I first learned about this natural remedy, I was pretty bewildered. The sound of it alone is confusing. Honey is a sticky, sugary substance. How can it possibly clear up skin?





    Honey kills bacteria while simultaneously lessens the red look of irritated skin. The acidity in the honey evens out your skin tone, shrinks current pimples and will give your skin a softer feel. Listen, I know you may be skeptical of this solution. I was at first, then I tried it. This natural acne scar remedy works great.





    Lemon


    Lemon will help clear up acne as well as fade acne scars. Plus your face will smell like a freshly shined harwood floor, so that's a plus ;)





    The acidity in the juice will lighten the redness of the scars and balance your skin's pH levels to prevent future breakouts. Give it a shot.

    Acne scars??

    well i have some acne scars around my nose and on my forehead that i am tired of. ive tried some products like acne free and right now im using proactiv.... ive been using it for about a month and a half now. what would be a good product that would work? im going back to school in a couple of weeks and i know my acne scars wont go awy that fast but ive had them for over a year! please help!Acne scars??
    Buy an over-the-counter medication such as Mederma (good for fading scars of all sorts) in combination with hydroquinone which is a prescription gel used to diminish appearance of skin pigmentation. Wash your face with a gentle cleanser at night and then apply the Mederma-Hydroquinone mixture onto the target areas only!





    If you can't get a prescription for Hydroquinone, get a AHA (Alpha Hydroxy Acid) cream which would help rejuvenate your skin. Use that in combination with Mederma. Also invest in an exfoliant to use twice weekly in the mornings. I recommend St. Ives Apricot Scrub.





    It also helps if you can go to a dermatologist and get an acid peel done. What an acid peel does is just removing the topmost layer of dead skin of the epidermis. Don't worry about it burning you--the epidermis is entirely composed of dead skin cells. The acid peel would help reduce the appearance of the scars.





    Good luck!Acne scars??
    Have you gone to a Dermatologist? If not, go see one. Proactiv does not work.Trust me, I have used it, and my mom is a nurse for a dermatologist. Many patients have come in complaining that Proactiv does NOT work. I use Differin gel and Duac gel for my acne and I must say, I have seen GREAT results for acne with these. I'm not sure if they'd be so good for acne scars. Go see a Dermatologist before taking anyone's advice on this site because Dermatologist know skin better than anyone else.
    buy a microdermabrasion kit (walmart) and use that as it says and the scars should fade..

    Acne scars?

    I've had pimples since i was 10.


    and like an idiot, i would mess with them, and now i have a bunch of scars that look like pimples.


    im only 14, and i dont want scars this young.








    is there any creams or anything that can help remove them??


    dont recomend the lazer treatment, its too expensive.Acne scars?
    Use aloe vera gel from the plant. Hospitals use aloe vera gel to treat burn patients to ease pain and help scars disappear.Acne scars?
    Lime juice, tomato slices, home made packs can be used for treating acne. You can find more cheap, effective and natural home remedies for pimples at


    http://www.wellnesstalk.org/acne.html
    I highly recommend exfoliating twice a week. If you exfoliate, over time the acne scars will not be as visible because you are sloughing off the dead skin cells surrounding the acne scar - therefore they will not appear deep. Since I have started selling Avon, I have been trying out various types of products (mild acne scarring too) including the Clearskin Invigorating Scrub as well as the Anew Clinical Micro-Exfoliant. I have seen better results with the less expensive of the two (Clearskin Invigorating Scrub). Hope that helps...
    Whitening creams helps.

    Acne scars?

    is there any hope of making them disappear?Acne scars?
    Try that crap that P Diddy and Jessica Simpson advertise late at night on cable.Acne scars?
    Yes but it's going to take time. You have to have a bleaching solution prescribed to you by a dermatologist and regular use of that plus some peeling procedures can lighten those scars.
    try mederma.just go to the website.


    if succeed,just dont forget me.
    Mederma for scars, is the best at home product.


    Dermatologists can give you treatments to fade them.
    Vitamin E. You can take pills or buy the cream. Whatever you get .. make sure it has Vit. E in it
    I used Vitamin E oil to help one of my scars fade.

    Acne scars?

    i never had acne problems on my face. but due to extreme stress in college ive had 4 horrific outbreaks on my back. now my back is scared. what can i do to get rid of them? one girl told me to tan my back..will this help?Acne scars?
    I wouldnt tan them-I would think that would only make the asne scars brown instead of whatever color they are now. I would visit a dermatologist because if it was stress that caused the breakouts then it is likely to happen again. Also, try proactive. I think coco butter is good for scars.Acne scars?
    Try Restalyn. I have tried every treatment and restalyn has made me scar free. I order it from Canada where you can get it over the counter. God Bless. Report Abuse

    Restalyn works best!!! Report Abuse

    Well.. I have done some readying myself in the past of this problem. Perhaps you can find your answer on this archived information that I have downloaded to my website.

    Acne scars?

    how can you get rid of acne and acne scars specially on the back?Acne scars?
    Completely getting rid of acne scars takes a long time. Getting rid of scars isn't very easy.





    Squeezing or picking at acne can damage the skin tissue around the acne. This can lead to the scarring that is such a concern for many people.








    If the nature of your scars is mild to moderate, then home remedies are sufficient. There are many lotions based on alpha hydroxyl acid and retinol. These lotions are very effective for the treatment of the acne scars. it also depends on the type of your skin. If you have a sensitive skin type, it will be better not to use lotions based on the above ingredients. They can harm sensitive skin. There is a specific range of medications to treat people who can not undergo retinol and alpha acid treatments. The most effective among them are lavender oil, aloe vera juice and rosehip seed oil. They can heal scars without harming the skin in the long run.





    I suggest trying aloe vera juice and putting that on your face at night where the scars are.





    Exfoliate your skin with baking soda. Often times a version of baking soda is used in cosmetic microdermabrasion treatments. You can give yourself a mini microdermabrasion treatment by mixing one teaspoon of baking soda with the two teaspoons of filtered water. Then gently rub the mixture on your acne scar for sixty seconds then rinse it off.





    Also, try lemon juice.


    To use the lemon juice treatment to remove your acne scar you will need to first wash your face with warm water. Then pour some lemon juice on a cotton ball, and then gently rub the effected acne mark area. For best results leave the lemon juice on your face for about 10 minutes and then dry the affected acne scar area.





    To start seeing results with the lemon juice it can take anywhere from one day and even up to three months. Results will vary depending on the seriousness of the acne problem.





    Another big factor in reducing or getting rid of acne scars is that you will also need to watch the kind of oils you are putting into your body. Some oils that you use is just screaming acne come and get me!





    One of the most common forms of vegetable oil is the sunflower oil. It is highly recommended that if you are using such oils in your cooking then you should consider stop using them to cook as it will only increase the risk of more acne break outs.





    By avoiding the use of vegetable oils in your cooking, it has been reported that it can be one of the leading factors in clearing up your acne by 50%. Even in sever cases it has been said that that people who stopped using such vegetable oils, have been completely relieved of any future acne outbreaks.





    Ready to hear this? Believe it or not by drinking more than the recommended 8 glasses of water daily will immediately begin to see results with getting rid of your acne scars. If you are a severe acne suffer you should stay away from carbonated drinks, and caffeine drinks such as coffee, and sodas.





    Or if you have the money, go to a dermatologist.





    If you have serious scarring from previous bouts with acne, there are some things you can do. One form of treatment is laser resurfacing, which can be done in the doctor's or dermatologist's office. The laser removes the damaged top layer of skin and tightens the middle layer, leaving skin smoother. This can take anywhere from a few minutes to an hour. The doctor will try to lessen any pain by first numbing the skin with local anesthesia. It usually takes between 3 and 10 days for the skin to heal completely.





    Another method for treating acne scarring is dermabrasion, which uses a rotating wire brush or spinning diamond instrument to wear down the surface of the skin. As the skin heals, a new, smoother layer replaces the abraded skin. It may take a bit longer for skin to heal using dermabrasion 鈥?usually between 10 days and 3 weeks.





    The newest form of treatment for acne scarring is called fractional laser therapy. This type of treatment works at a deeper level than laser resurfacing or dermabrasion, Because fractional laser therapy doesn't wound the top layer of tissue, healing time is shorter. Fractional laser therapy is quite costly, and it's not usually covered by insurance.





    A person's acne will need to be under control before having any of these treatments.





    Depending on the severity of the acne scars, the doctor or dermatologist may also suggest a chemical peel or microdermabrasion to help improve the appearance of scarred areas. These milder treatments can be done right in the office.





    Some of these are rather expensive thoughAcne scars?
    patience and toothpaste! lol put toothpaste on ur face and then they will go away!
    patience...
    try microdermabrasion





    kits like Neutrogena's are around 25 dollars and slowly help reduce acne and slight scaring by removing the top layers of skin very carefully.


    Talk to your dermatologist as well
    I read that you can mix sandalwood and rose water into a paste apply it to the scars and leave on till dry. Then wash off with warm water. Repeat every night before bed or leave on overnight.
    skin lightening...some Bio oil..or Ambi...really works girl!!

  • Acne scars?

    besides lasers how can you get rid of them or at least deminish their appearance?Acne scars?
    Katie Ann,





    It all depends on the types of scars you have and quantity. You cannot get rid of all scars, given that it is quite difficult, there are no true solutions to get rid of scars, not even lasers.





    I had a problem with acne and it essentially causes so much trouble to your self-esteem. Many people do not understand how it affects individuals unless they have acne and have scars which they need to deal with after the acne has subsided. You get a lot of negative remarks from women (in my case as I am a male). And it makes it hard to get into relationships.





    With this in mind, I set out to find a solution to get rid of my scars. I have rolling scars, some people have ice pick scars and other forms or a combination. So I will list what medical solutions are available for people who suffer from acne scars.





    Needling: Is a process in which very fine needles are used to poke through the dermis (skin) around the scar. Some medics use a special device, which contains a multitude of needles, while other use a tattoo machine but without ink. Each puncture of the skin causes new collagen to form and it lifts the skin slightly. Many types of scars benefit from a small lift as it makes it more even with the rest of the face and the scar becomes less visible. Procedure costs $100 to $300





    Subcision: Is a process in which the doctor will insert a syringe needle of 20 gauge or thinner where the scar is located. The doctor will then move the needle back and forth under the skin. This cuts the fibrosis tissue which holds down the skin and forms a scar. Once the fibrosis tissue is cut, the scar will raise and swell as a blood clot forms under the skin.


    During the healing process, you will feel a tingling sensation as new collagen forms in the dermis. The process will continue for about a month, the more collagen that forms, the less visible the scar will be to you. Subcision is one of the best solutions for correcting scars and it has great results to most people who have rolling scars. It is not complicated and it does not hurt, but it will leave you with small bruises on each scar they treat for about a week.


    The procedure does not cost much, about $400 for a face treatment done by dermatologists. The only draw back is that you have to convince you doctor to do it to you, as they prefer to sell you a laser treatment because they earn more money from it. But this seems to be the most effective way of correcting rolling scars and most effective.





    Dermabrasion: This procedure is done on all types of scars. They will use a tool which scrapes off the upper layers of your skin. Once the skin is removed, it will take about 10 days for it to grow back and you will have to take good care of your face for several months. The skin usually comes back with fewer scars and smoother as it is new skin. It will look red or pink for several months as you lose pigmentation. The cost of this procedure ranges from $900 to $2500 depending on the doctor.





    Excision: This is a procedure used to correct ice pick scars. The doctor will cut out the scar and stitch the skin together. This removes the scar and you end up with a smooth face per scar they excise. The costs vary a great deal and range from $50 to $100 per excised scar.





    Dermal fillers: These are injected in the dermis and lift the scar up. These are not permanent and last between 3 to 12 months. The price ranges from $300 to $500 per syringe.





    Chemical peels: TCA at 25 to 35% strength can be used to treat acne scars. The chemicals are placed on the face for a few minutes and during a weeks time, your skin will peel revealing new skin with slightly less scars. TCA is the most used agent to treat acne scars as it does a deep peel. The cost of TCA peels ranges from $200 to $400





    Laser: Doctors use a laser to remove layers of skin and the result is finer skin after you heal. It is not recommended for people who have darker skin. The costs are high and range from $3000 to $5000 or even more.





    These are the best solutions to treat and correct acne scars. There are other treatments, however they will not correct acne scars.Acne scars?
    Go see a dermatoligist, be careful with over the counter. Could make worse!!!
    Don't pop your pimples. That's what causes the scars. Try using cleansers and wash your face twice a day.
    I would consider using Proactiv Solution. You will see results quickly. It will heal your current acne and also lighten your acne scarring. You can also order the Lightening lotion that speeds up the results.
    now proactive does work but not for everyone. if i was u first use proactive and see how it does to your face... if nothing happens in three months go to your dematogoglist for some lighting creams
    since different ppl have difference skin it is hard to tell but i wil tell you to try this ambi soap and creme it gets rid of any scars in your face or you can try ultra glow you can find them both at wal-mart of the dollar store b/c 3 months ago my mother had lots of scars on her face i seen her recently and her face is clear as ever so you should try one of them
    Break open a vitamin E capsule and spread on the effected areas. I have removedor dimiinished every kind of scar with this stuff for years. Do this everynight before you go to bed (make sure to cleanse thouroughly when you wake up!) This will also keep your skin looking healthy. Another tip: VE works best when the blemishes are fresh, as well as burns and cuts.
    proactive!! trust me it really works!!
    Try the curad scar patches, they don't remove the scars completely but they fade them quite a bit. Also try products with Retinol or Retin-A but be sure you use sun protection religiously or you will get significant sun damage.
    Wow! People are giving you the same answers and someone even gave you a 3 page lecture. lol Anyways I have something that will help. Have you ever bought anything from Avon? I buy most of my make up, creams, lotions,etc from them and they work great. I dont have acne but my cousin does and she also uses avon. She bought this cream, its called BANISHING CREAM SKIN DISCOLORATION LIGHTENER, you can use it to fade away freckles, scars, and spots on the skin. I advise you to use this because it really works to help fade them. Anyways, thats all I wanted to say, see ya.
    From my experience, the cream Mederma does well with scars.

    Acne Scars?

    I'm 15 and i'm trying to get rid of some of my acne scars. The problem is that, i can't use anything too oily cuz it'll make me break out. Does anyone know where i can get something that works really good for scars? It's just kinda depressing.





    how long will it take to notice the difference?


    how much does it cost?





    thanks a bunch %26lt;33Acne Scars?
    Maybe you could try ProActive. I heard that it also can remove acne scars. I dont know if this is an oil or not but it is called Bio Oil. It is specifically supposed to get rid of Scars and stretch marks. If those dont work you could probably talk to your doctor or dermatologist and they could give you something to help get rid of the scars.Acne Scars?
    the trick i use is that whenever i see a new pimpel, i rub alcohol on it that evening along with a perscribed benzaclin which works amazingly. And do that until it goes away. The alcohol is to prevent scars and to keep it from re-infecting. for scars, ive had friends who've used proactive and i saw a big difference.
    Hi,


    I know what your going through hun. I've recently kicked the acne but my face has a little scaring and is a little oily as well. I use Clean and clear face wash and I've also tried (this sounds dumb but it works) Neosporin on the scars and rub it. Also try putting some chapstick and even vaseline. It's takes a little while but it fades away over a month or two. And eve put a little Vitamin E after washing your face with Warm/hot water.


    Good luck hun! %26lt;3
    Your best bet is to try home remedies. Like I been breaking out myself lately and I been good for about two weeks.








    I use Oatmeal(For oily skin) and its good for your skin. I use nutmeg or cinammon or almond season because they naturally get rid of scars and a egg to hold it on my face for at least an 1/2 hour. I blend it all together so it looks like a mask.
    YOU CAN GET THE PROACTIVE MIXTURE U HAVE TO ASK FOR THE MIXTURE THT MEANS ITS FOR OILY AND DRY SKIN LIKE IN BETWEEN IT WORKED FOR ME IF U USE IT IN THE MORNING AND AT NIGHT FORGET WHT EVERY 1 SAID IT WORKS ITS ONLY LIKE 70 DOLLERS AND IT HAS SPECAIL CREAM FOR BIG BUMPS TO BE GONE FAST FOR YOUR WHOLE FACE TO B CRYSTAL CLEAR IT TAKES ABOUT 1 MONTH
    i have the same question, only i have scars AND keep breaking out, i've tried almost everything nothing has worked for me sorry, i'm no help people have told me salt water try that

    Acne scars?

    i have moderately severe acne and am worried about it scarring. i need advice from people who had acne and if theirs scarred or not.Acne scars?
    1. Don鈥檛 ever pinch, squeeze or pick at a pimple. This only causes it to become more red and inflamed, and will spread the bacteria and oils that caused it in the first place, to other parts of your face! %26amp;%26amp; lead to scars that you dont wantt(JUST FOLLOW THIS AND YOU WONT SCAR)





    2. Every 30 minutes, apply an ice pack to the pimples and hold it there for about 2 minutes. This will decrease the swelling and redness and help shrink the inflammation and pain that sometimes comes along with it.








    4. Cleanse your skin 2-3 times a day with mild, unscented soap or a specialized acne cleanser that has no harsh chemicals (such as lye). Scrub skin gently with an exfoliating pad or washcloth, but don鈥檛 rub too hard, otherwise you鈥檒l sap your skin of its own natural oils, which help to repel buildup naturally.





    5. Apply a cream or ointment containing benzyl peroxide or salicylic acid (many over-the-counter acne medicines contain these ingredients) to the blemish or around the entire facial area. Note that these ingredients both have a tendency to dry out skin if used too much and are not recommended if you have sensitive skin.








    7. If you鈥檙e in need of a quick fix, a dab of toothpaste on the affected area right before bed can help soothe irritation and reduce redness(I suggest dont use Crest it burns. If you have sensitive skin dont try the whole toothpaste thing..it just drys out the pimple which is why its ';good for it';. Pressing and holding a wet tea bag or a cotton ball with a dab of lemon juice against the blemish for five minutes can also reduce swelling and redness.





    If you follow these tips your acne should get better





    Good luck 鈾?br>

    Proactiv Solution is an acne treatment system that cures acne in 3 steps. It works as a combination therapy to cure acne. It is an excellent method of treatment that has proved its effectiveness. You can purchase this system as a special 30 day trial pack or a full version for 60 days. The three steps in the treatment are:


    Renewing Cleanser


    Revitalizing Toner


    Repairing Lotion
    If you do end up with scarring, you can get laser resurfacing, I've seen how well it works, and in most cases you wouldn't even know you had scars to begin with. Goodluck anyway, as I know how bad it can get, see your doctor for a good acne cream, or/and it comes in tablet form as well. To cure from the inside out.
    don't pop pimples, because that leads to terrible scaring, and if you do get scaring, get scar cream to make it less noticeable. hope i helped %26lt;3

    Acne scars? :(?

    Are there any HOME remedies for acne scars? I don't have any ones that are like, dented or anything, but I have all these mini purple looking spots on the outsides of my chin and on my cheeks and they are so nasty =[ I may get microdermabrasion** this summer, but i'm not sure. Anyone know of ANYTHING that will help? These are killing me. They're really hard to cover with make up and my senior prom is coming up!Acne scars? :(?
    I have acne scars on sides of my face. I went to my doctor and she recommended a benzoyl peroxide night cream. It works by applying to areas of your face at night and then you sleep and wash it off in the morning. It kills bacteria and increases the turnover rate of you skin cells to heal scars. I used a 5% cream since I was mild. But the sell up to 10% in stores like Fred Meyers if you have more severe.





    It's been 4 weeks and my scars have improved ever since I used it. I was considering microderabrasion before but my doc said I don't need it at my age. Keep in mind it'll dry out your skin a bit so I use moisturizer every morning after I wash it off.Acne scars? :(?
    There a few good at home microderma kits, but you should know that best results are visible after about a month. I don't know when your prom is...


    Dermanew and Youthful Essence are the best against all kind of acne scars, i know because in the last 4 years, i have tried them all: neutrogena, loreal, ponds, epidermx, olay... and i believe youthful essence had the best results on my old acne scarrs. they are almost gone now, and first results were visible after using the kit for about a week.


    hope this helps...

    Collagen injections are temporary but do work. See your dermotologist.

    These are some DIY methods which can lighten the acne scars.





    1)Acne mark lightener- Reduces acne scars

    2 tsp green bean powder


    2 tsp sandalwood powder


    2 tsp milk


    1 egg white





    How: Mix into a paste and apply onto skin. Leave it to dry. Dab with milk and then scrub off with rotating movements. Do this on alternate days.

    toothpaste. well according to this show i once saw. :)
    I use a non chemical face peel which sheds a thin layer of skin and helps the skin to renew itself quicker. I use Avon Anew face peel. Its an organic product that has lots of nutritional benefits for the skin. You are meant to use a product like this every 2 - 3 days or so and keep it up for a month and you will see a big difference! I think with most remedies people dont keep them up for long enough to see the results. I was persistent and my skin looks alot clearer and healthier for it. You can buy quite a few of these peels in the shops. Boots might be the best bet but you can expect to pay around 拢10 - 拢15 for a months supply. Avon is good value for money and it works! Hope this helps... I know how disheartening acne scars can be... you finally get rid of the problem to be left with the evidence and its quite upsetting.
    tea tree oil is the most effective and natural solution for acne scars i've ever tried.
    I have the same problem as you do. I went to a dermatologist and she gave me some medication and they worked wonders.
    Rose hip oil from Kosmea is a really good 100%natural oil. it is well absorbed, and i dont feel oily.


    it's very good to reduce scarring.

    How do I get my acne scars to go away???????

    Go out and buy some ';Tea Tree Oil';.


    The scars will slowly become less and less noticable until they have gone completely. I personally use a q-tip to apply it to my skin. Be patient, it will do the trick. You will notice a difference within a week or two, may not be gone by then, but you'll see changes.How do I get my acne scars to go away???????
    Rosehip seed oil and lavender oil are also effective in removing acne scars. These are an anti-ageing and anti-wrinkling agent that helps the skin to regenerate. Massage this oil on the scar twice a day.Log on to http://tipsfromruby-acne.blogspot.com/ for a few home made tips to heal acneHow do I get my acne scars to go away???????
    I am dealing with the same thing. I have been using Obagi products which has seemed to be the only thing that has really helped to reduce mine. It helps with any dark pigmentation too from the acne if you have that too. If I had the money I would do laser. I've heard that works the best.
    you can never get rid of scars.. but you can dull them down.. try using vitamin E moisturizer...this will help with hiding the scars...also invest in a good facial cleanser this will also help with the appearance of your skin.


    i hope this helps.
    Go to a dermatologist. I've tried a product called Ambi, Black Opal, Mederma, cocoa butter, etc...nothing works. Now I am seeing a dermatologist, he is my last hope.
    go to a drug store there is a lot of creams on the market I would recommend vitamin c cream also the brand that makes head on sells something for scars
    I believe my mom had to take some sort of minor surgery like laser or something. Then she had to take this powder medicine on the wounds.
    The best thing I've found is Mederma. It's about 12.75 at Walmart. It really helps with depressed scars or ones that are darker or lighter than your skin tone.
    have a good cream and take it every night before go to bed ....

  • What's the difference between post acne marks and acne scars?

    Sotry-


    I had a zit, picked it and peeled it. Now theres a mark.


    What would it be?


    Acne Mark


    or Scar?What's the difference between post acne marks and acne scars?
    If it's just a flat, reddish spot, it's a mark and will fade in 6 to 9 months. It's only a true scar if it's an indentation in your skin. True scars can only be removed by cosmetic laser or dermabrasion treatment, but don't worry--what you have is probably just a temporary mark.





    From now on, try not to pick at zits, tempting as it can sometimes be. However, not all acne scars are formed by picking--sometimes they occur naturally without you doing anything. But at the end of the day, you're better off just leaving it alone and eventually it'll go away. :)What's the difference between post acne marks and acne scars?
    no difference, pretty much the same thing..it's a scar...and it'll fade away.. but don't keep picking your zits because you could keep scaring yourself and some of them might not go away...most of the time when people refer to acne scars it's like deep pit scars..an acne mark would be a scar that's just some discoloration i guess.

    Should i play football i wear cover-up(to hide my acne scars) 10 Points for best answer?

    Im afraid if i play football the cover-up will smear on the inside of the helmets and show my acne. Also its the summer so i might join a football camp. Please tell me what you guys think! If not tell me what sport to play because my parents are making me. BTW im a guy. 10 Points!Should i play football i wear cover-up(to hide my acne scars) 10 Points for best answer?
    Are you saying that you wear make up to hide your acne? Couldn't you just try some ProActive?Should i play football i wear cover-up(to hide my acne scars) 10 Points for best answer?
    You r right about it smearing and coming off. But unless you have a really good cover-up, don't you think some of your scars r already visible. Any sport where you get hot and sweaty is going to make the cover-up come off. And I can't think of any sport where you don't get hot and sweaty. It sounds as if you don't really want to play. Ask your parents if they would agree to let you join a gym or better yet convince them to start a walking program with you and maybe they will let you skip football. If you end up playing, you will probably be teased. Hard as it will be, don't react to them. If they know the teasing bothers you, they will only keep it up.
    Hey dude if you are going to be worrying about your scars then I think this game isn't for you. How will you become succesful in this game if you are too worried about people looking at your scars? Vag ino makes a good point. You have to be mean and not give a shi*. Forget what people say and go out there and leave it all on the field. If you can do that then Im sure you will get all the respect you need. Make me proud.





    Remember, you only have one life. So make it worth your while. Dont let this hold you back.
    no one is going to make fun of your acne, I've played on four different football teams and no one make fun of how anyone looks, if you are around my age, 14 it's pretty natural to feel a bit self conscious don't worry about it, when you realize no one cares you'll be fine.
    just lose the coverup and go play football, no1 will care about scars we had kids on the team with scars( it will just make you look meaner ). football camp was the best time of my life, i still talk about it with my friends.
    DON'T LET ACNE SCARE YOU ,YOU WILL ENJOY THE GAME HELL WITH EVERYONE ELSE! LOOK AT JACK LAMBERT HE PLAYED THE WAY HE LOOKED .NO ONE COULD LOOK AS BAD AS JACK AND NO ONE PLAYED AS GOOD AS HIM,!FORGET EVERYONE ,PLAY FOR YOURSELF OR YOU WILL REGRET IT WHEN YOU GET OLD,

    I am a Registered Nurse and I specialize in skin care and teen acne.





    Your question is very broad and you need to get professional advice. I will explain why it's a broad question!





    Your age plays a role! How old are you?





    However, acne can result from several factors such an increase in hormone levels. In males testosterone or androgens. In females, androgens respectively. The increase in androgen levels can stimulate the oil glands to become enlarged and thus more oil production is produced. An increased oil production can clog the pores with oil or sebum ( white thick substance) which cause the cell walls of the pores in the skin to breakdown. This process allows bacteria to form and thus breakouts develop.





    Genetics may also be a cause. It is a myth that greasy food or chocolate causes breakouts.





    However, using make-up sponges that are not changed or washed often can contaminate the pores with bacteria which may develop into acneic breakouts.





    If you are a teenager ( which I assume that you are) your hormones play a definite role in breakouts which led to you picking and getting acne scars.





    If you have severe breakouts than you might need medication. There are many factors.





    The most important thing is that you need products that are AGE APPROPRIATE! Every age group has different products appropriate for them. If you are young than you need milder products as to not dry out your beautiful young skin.





    The problem with commercial skin products is that they are manufactured for MASSES OF PEOPLE and are not specifically made for different peoples' needs.





    Your skin type is different than mine and your age differs from mine so how is it logical that we both use the same skin product for breakouts. We need different strengths of cleansers and toners. Do you kind of understand what I am getting at?





    Here is my STRONG SUGGESTION for you. I refer all my students and patients to this website:





    www.aboutyourskincare.com





    You need to consult with professionals and on this website YOU CAN ASK QUESTIONS FOR FREE AND A SKIN EXPERT/PHYSICIAN WILL ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS. It would be a shame if you dont take advantage of this free service.





    Lastly, they have incredible products for breakouts, acne and acne scarring and they make them specifically for every kind of skin type. That means that if your breakouts are more severe than mine, than while we both will buy the same product yours will have stronger ingredients than mine will.





    They have a mild glycolic acid cleanser that's great for your type of skin and also a DRYING LOTION ( I have 3 bottles) that you put directly on your breakouts and the next day it's gone. It's truely magic in a bottle.





    A basic guideline for properly taking care of your skin is this ( now if you're a young girl you will need fewer products than this):





    Night time:





    1. Exfoliate the skin


    2. Mild Glycolic Acid Cleanser


    3. Mild Glycolic Acid Toner ( cleans off the excess debris and balances the PH level of the skin).


    4. Drying Lotion used only on breakouts


    5. Moisturizer





    Morning:





    1. Mild Glycolic Acid Cleanser


    2. Moisturizing cream





    The above is a standard you may need to only use one or two products. Visit: www.aboutyourskincare.com





    As I suggested and click on the ASK FOR FREE section send them an email and you will get free expert skin care advice.

    Good Luck to you,


    MichelleHow to clear up acne scars and have clear skin?
    Yes same here. Either make a few appointments quick before school starts at your dermotologist and they will have to use lazer treatments or go to a store and get some merderma. Another option is a facial peel or two. Never had it done but saw on TLCs makeover show it works wonders. :)

    How can i lessen the apperance of acne scars on my face?

    Laser therapy is the only thing that will work, waste no money on creams, lotions or potions.


    It may be expensive but the results will be so worth it!!!How can i lessen the apperance of acne scars on my face?
    Hi,





    So we all know the whole makeup thing. Make up is wonderful it covers everything! But the real issue is how to keep them from scaring in the first place.





    I use Bare minerals make up. All natural and helps with the hole acne thing. Wash your face before bed and when you wake up. Don't wash it to much because some of those oils are good for you.





    When you have a pimple that you think might scar, dab it with alcohol to quicken the process. Then put Neosporium on it as it heals. Neosporium is good for anything that's an open wound. It cleans, prevents infection, and it prevents scaring!

    How can you remove acne scars without spending a lot of money?

    my scars aren't deep, their just darker than my skin color, and they have no bumps, how can i remove those without having to spend alot of money because i'm only a teenager and i dont have a lot of time to spend for this but i dont want my acne scars, it lowers my self-esteem.








    thanks for anything you can provide! :)How can you remove acne scars without spending a lot of money?
    The only thing I can think of would be Mederma...which is a scar removal cream..but its not cheap..its like $50 a tube..and the tube is small..I wish i could find something cheaper .b/c i have the same problem!

    I struggled with acne for years and I finally found the solution that works for me. We have been fooled, tricked, deceived, and just plain lied to. It's time that someone put a stop to it, and everyone learn the truth!





    Those of us who suffer from acne have usually been given 2 choices and neither of them work:





    1. Over the counter remedies such as cleansers, creams, ointments, etc. These things have been proven over and over again not to work. Why? It does not address the root cause of the problem.





    2. Go see a doctor and or dermatologist. They will generally prescribe prescription drugs which include topicals and or antibiotics. This, too, has been proven over and over again not to work. Why? It does not address the root cause of the problem.





    I found a step-by-step program that cured my acne and it has never come back. It is amazing and doesn鈥檛 use any drugs or doctors. The truth is that acne can be cured鈥f we know the secret the doctors and drug companies don鈥檛 want us to know.





    There is a great website: http://cure-my-acne.info/3daycure/ that has all the details. I really suggest you check it out and see if it works as well for you as it did for me.
    Well all people differ so wat helps for my skin might not work for you. I use Inoxia. But for the scars? Trick my mom told me they use in the hospital she works in. Vitamin E. U get those capsules with the oily content? Poke a small hole in it and rub that oil on your scars. It wont be a presto job and next day gone but it lightens the scars and later on take them away. Its cheap and just needs patience. xxx
    Search for this Hydroquinone Tretinoin might be illegal in some contries cause of competetion but it will get rid of acne scars faster than any product on the market plus its cheaper. (RDL Pharmaceutical Labs) Just note the side effects are peeling skins which takes out the dry cells and creates a new set of skin but its worth the shot if you want newer Beutiful skin.

    acne...at back...best option available is consult ur skin doctor n would suggest to get rid of them by burning or plucking them off.....its very much safe.....thee are no after effects...(depends on the skin texture too)
    dab a bit of hydrogen peroxide on a cotton ball, apply to acne. If you have long bangs, tie them away from your face as conditioners that you use in the hair can go into your pores when you sweat causing more acne. The pores in the skin fill up with conditioner and then harden. Don't touch your face, the oils and dirt from your fingers get packed in your pores.
