Do Acne Scars Go Away?

RE: Do Acne Scars Go Away? Post by skierchick001 (2) | (05/05/2008) Profile | Contact I've been using bio oil for about 6months now, it does work but takes time. Just rub it on morning and night. I've also heard that using honey as a mask for 10 minutes daily can work but i haven't tried it yet. Report Spam or Abuse RE: Do Acne Scars Go Away? Post By Deanna (Guest Post) (03/29/2008) Okay I don't know if acne scars do go away but I do have them. I have had acne since 3rd grade. I'm almost 13 now and I am more and more self conscious about them. Since I have had them for a while, I have gotten used to the way I get, but I hate them so much! Ive been using the clearisil ultra and it works so well I love it. Now I cant get rid of my white heads and black heads. And all I have is scars from my acne not the pits in your cheeks but red scars and I get red so easily and oily so it looks like I was in a gym for hours. It's disgusting! Any help?!

Post By TV (Guest Post) (02/23/2008) I had started breaking out badly on my face since last summer. And I tried the Clearasil Ultra and it is great. My acne is not completely gone, but it greatly improved. There is no need for micro-dermabrasion. Use granulated sugar it gives you the same smoothness and results.

Just remember looks are not everything. Who cares if you have little scaring, you are still beautiful. Report Spam or Abuse RE: Do Acne Scars Go Away? Post By regina leach (Guest Post) (10/09/2007) I'm just starting to use bio oil and it makes my skin feel so much smoother and it kinda helping my scars on my face look lighter, but I hope in time I can stop wearing make up. I hate wearing it, and only wear it because of my scars. Report Spam or Abuse RE: Do Acne Scars Go Away? Post By Aman (Guest Post) (08/25/2007) Don't use chemicals as listed. These will not suit your skin. Do a natural facial twice a week at home. Use apricot scrub on your face and keep on rubbing slightly for 10 min. Scars will definitely go away. Scrubbing removes dead cells on your face. I had scars 1 year ago and now they are gone. Report Spam or Abuse RE: Do Acne Scars Go Away? Post By guddi (Guest Post) (07/17/2007) yes most acne scars do go away...use lacto calamine lotion daily morning and night as a face mask for about 3-6 months...and see the magic!!

Post By selena (Guest Post) (03/28/2007) I am 15 and I never had a bad problem with acne but when I do get acne,I get black heads, and I can't help but pop them which eventually leads me to getting huge scabs on my face. I had a facial scrub that worked for a while but then my skin got used to it. I was wondering if there is anything I can get that works all the time or if I just have to alternate.

IT is a symptom of an anxiety disorder, when you get the thing that's got you stressed out taken care of, you will probably not "need" to pick so much. abbie Report Spam or Abuse RE: Do Acne Scars Go Away? Post By Lynda (Guest Post) (01/27/2007) P.S. If you can address the initial pimple origin problem, you can then worry about the dark scars which will likely need Esoterica skin bleaching after you develop new and better habits from this knowledge that should help you. Deep scars take many years to heal from the inside out. Lighter scarring takes fewer years, but still a long time. Until you can get your whole life under control and discover how to avoid these eruptions/contamination and reinfection, anything you do will be a waste of time, in my opinion. I'd concentrate on learning these simple solutions, using common sense, staying alert to your old habits trying to reappear, but holding to a new pattern of behavior/eating/cleaning for at least six months so that you will not regress into the popping habit. I believe with God's help, you will overcome this terrible condition. I remember it's no fun. Report Spam or Abuse RE: Do Acne Scars Go Away? Post By Lynda (Guest Post) (01/27/2007) I have Cosmotology licensure and much experience with my own acne as a young person years ago: Watch diet (moderation in all things, very little grease/chips/chocolate/alcohol/sugar/cheese/dips/ ice cream/pizza/rich desserts/beverages. Try to neutralize your system by drinking mostly water or flavored water, no carbonation. Use no hot water or bar soap on any part of your face, only tepid tap water and baby shampoo, with a paper towel, or bleachable white face cloth , with soap washed hands, since acne pimple contents are contageous bacteria/virus/or fungus, easily spread by towels, pillows, and hands. Blow dry the face or any affected body parts afterwards, and use a q-tip to apply Perioxide to each tiny pimple. Air dry. Smash between two spoons, one asperin, then mix powder with neosporin and dab mixture on with q-tip, and apply a layer of toilet paper across the affected skin to protect it until medicine is soaked in, and FROM getting onto whatever you lay on. Take one multi-vit/mineral a day, along with Vit. E, and Calcium/D. Get plenty of water/sleep daily, along with 10 min. of sunlight, even through a window. Try to exercise daily for 15 min. Do NOT mash the erruptions because the infection spreads beneath the skin to hundreds of other adjoining skin cells and often forms new pimples, as well as gets into your fingernails, which is hard to clean. Take special care not to get the acne contents on a thing. Sleep on paper towel layers until no sign of drainage is present, and you are healing/healed. If on RX meds for acne, follow doctor's instructions, then afterwards, take Acidolphylus from health food store once a day to help increase your general immune system gently, inexpensively and naturally. Wash all linens in sm. amt of bleach added to your wash, but whites can take more, and do this regularly, using a new or freshly bleached white cloth or paper towel each time you must touch your acne. Do not rub your face, PAT it. If the acne is draining, do not contaminate your cloths, use paper towels wherever possible. Keep in mind that acne can come from dust mite infestation, so go on a dust hunt, clean whatever you can and keep it clean of dust, and spray it with alcohol if upholstery and washable, but remembering that alcohol does NOT kill acne contents that might have gotten on anything, only antibacterial liquid soap such as Dial or Betadine rinse for washing hands not pimples, does this fairly well. If caused by a virus or fungus, you need to blow dry your face every single time after wetting with water. Form a new habit of not touching your face when at a table, sitting, resting, or working. Learn what works, and try to use this regimine. Touching the face spreads dirt and dust TO the face...AND bacteria, virus or fungus BACK TO whatever touched the face. It's a cycle that must be addressed and dealt with if you hope to get well and stay well. If you cannot bleach, you may not be able to get well since normal soaps do not heal acne germs (Staflococcus) very well, leaving them to touch another part of the clean skin. A steady diet of fried foods, fast foods, french fries, chips, chocolate chip cookies, candy, etc., is a disasterous trap for one to fall into. I pray this will work for you. God bless and help you. : ) Don't rely on expensive cosmetics, chemicals, or Report Spam or Abuse RE: Do Acne Scars Go Away? Post by 303batgirl (1) | (01/10/2007) Profile | Contact In my experience, all they do is fade. The redness that comes with a scab will go away over time, but you will still have pits in your face/forehead, and they won't ever go away. I have scars on my cheeks and it makes me very self conscious. If you HAVE to pop your pimples, use a pin (like a safety pin or a sewing pin) and poke a little hole in it, then squeeze very gently around the area. It really helps keep the scarring down! I also use pure vitamin E oil, and that helps heal it faster, and keep scarring down. I agree that the microdermabrasion probably does help tremendously, but preventative care is probably best.

My boyfriend has always had horrible acne, and it's just starting to calm down. He does have scars only because he pops his pimples as well. I think that is your main problem. You need to stop popping them, whether you have to cover them up with makeup or what, you need to stop messing with them. If you don't already use a cream to prevent them, I greatly suggest Proactiv solution. My boyfriend has used it for years and it works miracles for him. If he doesn't use it morning and night, he breaks out really badly. It works wonders. And for someone like you, who you say you only have them on your head (My boyfriend has them all over his face!) Proactiv could probably get rid of all of those for you with normal use. Report Spam or Abuse RE: Do Acne Scars Go Away? Post By (Guest Post) (01/09/2007) Microdermabrasion can take them away because it actually removes layers of your skin!!! At the dermatologist you pay like $100 to have it done! You are red & blotchy for a week & they give you cream that is thick & it sits on top of your face (my friend had this done SO many times). The tool actually sandblasts your skin and sucks it up at the same time- harsh!! My friend and I are now in Mary Kay and we have a micro set that consists of an exfoliating cream & a moisturizer. It also fights fine lines & wrinkles, refines pores and makes smooth skin. It is $55 and you get about 50-55 uses out of it so it is $1 per use!! Let me know if you are interested because I can give you a discount! www.marykay.com/rachelnix God bless you! *Rachel* rachelnix AT marykay.com Report Spam or Abuse RE: Do Acne Scars Go Away? Post By Yvonne (Guest Post) (01/09/2007) I had acne from age 11 years old until my late 20s. the scars that i had then and now are still noticable and they did not go away in time at all. i have had scars on both my cheek area and forehead since 11 years old and i am 51 years old now. so please be careful and try and not bother your skin and cause it to scar more than it will.

I only have 1 that didn't go away, it's on the side of my nose. Not real noticeable to anyone but me. I'm careful when applying makeup that it gets covered or it'll show. So don't worry.
