QuoteReplyTopic: Acne Scar Posted: January 18 2007 at 5:48pm
I have two ance scars on the sides of my nose, they are from these pimples that would never pop. Whenever I put on my make up in the morning, I see them and wonder what can I do to get rid of them or at least lessen the apperance of it. If you have any suggestions, please let me know. =D thanks.

There are scar fading cremes and stuff,but it has been my exprience that they dont help that much.
If you have acne,you may want to look into differin gel. Or some other form of retinoid. One great benefit is that they encourage cell turn over in skin and rebuild collegen too.Which means it helps with hyperpigmentation (scars) and wrinkles (though they are probably not your problem right now)
I know I have recomended them alot on this forum...but they are one of the best treatments for acne available without having to use accutane.
A new study I read recently stated that those who used a topical retinoid and a anti-biotic for three months,then continued to use only the topical retinoid when the anti-biotics were finished, maintained their clear skin a year after their inital visit.
It's a fact- curing acne can never be achieved by tackling
one of the many factors responsible for acne. If you've ever tried to cure your
acne using one-dimensional treatments like antibiotics or even detox diets and
failed it's probably because you tackled only one aspect of the disease. Not
only will this system teach you the only way to prevent your acne from being
formed, you will also learn the only way to acne
treatments for good - the holistic way.

Are you talking about the pitting scars or just the redness?The pitting
scars would be very difficult to treat. A dermatologist is trained in
treating acne and the scarring. Beware of a lot of websites and
advertisements claiming to cure acne. A dermatologist is your best bet,
and you could end up wasting a lot of money otherwise.There are
different ways to treat acne scars depending on the type of scar and
the type of patient's skin, etc. Dermabrasion and chemical peels and
laser treatments are some ways it is treated.Retin-A is a prescription
gel cream made of retinoic acid that comes from Vitamin A. It is the
topical form of Accutane, but Accutane (taken orally) has some very
serious side-effects. Retin-a makes your skin peel faster and thus
lessens the likelihood of your pores getting clogged. Also, by
increasing the dead cells being removed from your skin, it helps get
rid of the redness left after acne and it has been proven to get rid of
wrinkles.Initially after you use retin-a, your skin will start peeling
a lot and may get red and you may get more acne, but then later, you
don't notice the peeling much and your skin looks smoother and the
redness goes away as your skin gets used to it and it begins to feel a
lot smoother. You have to avoid exposure to the sun when using it, as
it makes your skin more sun sensitive.
1 pply sandalwood paste with rosewater and leave it overnight over the
scars. You can even apply a mixture of sandalwood paste and black gram
paste.
2 For dark acne scars use lemon juice. Before applying, clean the scars
with warm water and dab 1 tsp of lemon juice into a cotton ball and
apply it on the scars and leave it for 10-15 minutes. Make sure to
apply sunscreen prior to going out in the sun as lemon juice makes your
skin photosensitive.
3 Cucumber with lemon juice or honey with lemon juice also helps. Honey also helps for chicken pox scars. However peopl
i think it's like a little crater on your face...if you pop your
pimples (well, not yours as you said you have none), you'll have holes
in your face and they're permanent, unless you get lazer and all that
surgery stuff. if you pop your pimple correctly, you won't have any
problems, but just don't pop the pimple ;P

Scars which result from acne are called atrophic scars. There are skin treatments that can lessen the appearance of the atrophic scars and eventually get ride of it.
Free radicals break down healthy skin cells, the treatment needs to scavenge these free radicals, and create a trans-epidermal seal to help skin retain natural hydration to soften skin, and reduce inflammation. The skin treatment should also stimulate the natural production of healthy cell and eventually reverse the appearance of scar tissue.
If you have really bad acne scars the only way to get rid of them is with acne laser treatment. They are less expensive and less intrusive then they used to be and have almost no downtime anymore.
I have acne scar on my cheeks. So i apply a paste of sandalwood, rose
water and some milk on my face regularly. I keep it overnight and wash
in the next morning with cold water. It work good for me
Scars from acne can seem like double punishment � first you had to deal with the pimples, now you have marks as a reminder.
It helps to understand the different kinds of acne so you can figure out what to do about different types of scarring: Acne lesions or pimples happen when the hair follicles (or "pores") on the skin become plugged with oil and dead skin cells. A plugged follicle is the perfect place for bacteria to grow and create the red bumps and pus-filled red bumps known as pimples..For more details visit http://beautyskincare.us
