If 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.

I did go to the dermatologist before he recommended to me to use roaccutane

aewaOP•6/27/24, 2:58 PM

aewaOP•6/27/24, 2:58 PM

And there was a lot of side affects

But 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

I try to be kind to my self I try to not eat sugary food and I dont drink any sodas anymore

Can’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.

aewaOP•6/27/24, 3:08 PM

and It works I dont have a lot of acne anymore

ler•6/27/24, 3:08 PM

that won't help with existing scarring.

aewaOP•6/27/24, 3:09 PM

ler•6/27/24, 3:09 PM

see a dermotologist, there's things you can do, like microneedling or other treatments, but they're going to depend on your skin

aewaOP•6/27/24, 3:14 PM

Ller i would not do this

aewaOP•6/27/24, 3:15 PM

why

ler•6/27/24, 3:16 PM

have 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

aewaOP•6/27/24, 3:16 PM

Professional will rip me off also
