Hey I have acne scars how can I get rid of them or make them look like more okay ? Its like crater
It affects my confidence overall If anyone experienced this before I would like to hear an advice.
SIf you can you should see a dermatologist about them. They can almost certainly give you better recs (and access to stronger drugs) than people on the internet.
AI did go to the dermatologist before he recommended to me to use roaccutane
ABut I didnt use it because I had depression at that time
AAnd there was a lot of side affects
ABut It was for my acne problem now I have acne scars I dont have a lot of acne on my face rn like 1 or 2 but the scars are there
SAs silly as it seems, mostly just a question of being kind to yourself. I had acne and then after accutane regimens twice some scarring - took a while to realize most people only care about it as much as you do. Dermatologists can likely recommend something for skin repair, I have a cream with zinc oxide personally and have found that helpful but again trust a doctor vs people on the internet
AI did some research some people says laser treatment also works but Its expensive and u need to do 5 to 6 sessions
Aand some doctors says dermaroller works good also against acne scarring
AI try to be kind to my self I try to not eat sugary food and I dont drink any sodas anymore
SCan’t say I’ve seen those but again I’d stress to not read too much into anyone on the internet where many see a potential product sale - your best advice will be personal from your dermatologist.
Aand It works I dont have a lot of acne anymore
Lthat won't help with existing scarring.
Aow yeah I agree
Lsee a dermotologist, there's things you can do, like microneedling or other treatments, but they're going to depend on your skin
Ayeah Im thinking to do microneedling at home also
Li would not do this
Awhy
Lhave it done by a professional. if you're worried about the way your skin looks, doing these types of things without teh knowledge could potentially make things worse
AProfessional will rip me off also
LCounterpoint: A professional will do it properly
AI can even buy a microneedling pen to my self
Athe automatic one
AYeah I understood your point thank you for the advice
Abut there is a lot of people who is doing it to theirself
Aand I dont have that much money to pay for a professional
BI would see a dermatologist again
BIf you only have Medicaid, I've heard it's frustrating finding someone but there are some doctors that take it
Ayea some doctors are Dont even care
Athe doc see my back full of acne and Immediately said roaccutane what If I dont want to use it
BWas your acne severe? I thought accutane was for severe acne. In any case, you can get a second opinion from a different doctor
Amaybe I will go there/ to the dermo yeah but I also keep researching treatments online
BDermo > researching treatments online
BAlso there are different types of acne scars so there may not be a one size fits all solution for clearing them
