People with a history of acne/acne scars?! Plz help??!!?

Question

Okay well I'm questioning whether i should go to the dermatologist or not. I started using Proactiv which did a decent job clearing up my acne so its not THAT bad anymore but it's still makes me self conscious. The main reason i wanna go is because i have old scars on my cheek and forehead that i got 7 months ago and won't seem to fade! I can't take trying so hard to cover them up anymore! I was hoping a dermatologist could recommend products (not surgies) that could get rid of my scars.

So what do you guys think I should do? If any of you guys have been to the dermatologist regarding acne and scars, know of a proven way to remove old scars, or anything like that please please tell me! I'd like to hear any personal stories you're willing to tell me as well. Thank you guys so much your answers are greatly appreciated :)

Answer 1

hello



Well my acne prone skin makes me sooooo self consious too..ofcourse goin to a good dermatologist will help..but u also need to takecare of wat u eat...try not to eat greasy food, nuts, chilly food and eat vegetables and fruits..and drink atleaaaast 8glasses of water...ull notice the difference really fast and ull feel it..it will avoid u getting new breakouts..I also use HIMALAYA milk cleanser which really made difference to my skin..cucumber+soapnut..

I am currently doin laser treatments, i have had 3sessions and 2cystal peeling sessions..i hvnt seen obvious results yet...but the dermatoligst said it needs time coz its treatin the skin from under not to remove skin layers...but to kill acne cells..

I am currently using ISOTREXIN, i apply it on active breakouts or on parts of the skin whr i feel am getting a break out thr..and am applying CONTRACTUBEX gel on acne scars/marks to fade thm away, it makes ur skin itch a little but its really good..

1 last imp pt...fill a bottle with SEAWATER and wash ur face with it atleast twice a day..let it dry on ur skin n thn wash it away..it REALLYYY DOES MAGIC! gluck! :)

NATURAL ACNE PROTOCOL

1/ Never, ever touch your face.

2/ Use 3 facecloths to wash your face, one to soap on, one to soap off with very hot water, one to rinse off with ice cold water, in that order, once a day.

3/ If you are under 18 take 5,000 IU of vitamin A once a day with a full meal

4/ If you are over 18 take 5,000 IU of vitamin A twice a day with a full meal.

Do not get pregnant while taking vitamin A. Do not take any more, like Accutane, it will stop you growing.

5/ Never, ever. pick, squeeze or pop your spot. Read number 1 again.

6/ Do this for 90 days.

7/ Invest in a brand new pillow and 2 new or more pillow cases to �double bag' your pillow. HOT wash every couple of days.

A bit of advice given to me as a teenager, a bit of science as I am studying allergic reactions and vitamin A is a part of that. A bit of research: I sat in a lecture at the back and watched the acne prone pick at their faces, those with the worse acne touched their faces 32 times in an hour, the clearest complexions didn't touch their faces even once. I have circumstantial evidence that acne is the result of dermatophyte transfer from hands to face...where it does not get washed off and is well fed by hormones, sweat a

nd oil...just a hypothesis... But it would explain why vitamin A is so effective as vitamin causes skin to remove dermatophytes.



The secret is never to touch the spots
