I have had ice pick scaring for 4 years since the age of 16 till now. I am 20 years of age. I have done 2 Fraxel restores, 1 Profractional Laser , and 1 intensive microneedling treatment, with 3 IPL, in the course of 4 years with minimal results at this point I am considering Isotretinoin because when I l breakout it leave a new scar on my skin. And I still breakout . At this point is Isotretinoin a ideal option ?
On isotretinoin going on 3 months now. I noticed I'm developing atrophic scarring in places I had no previous acne. Like my forehead and chin. Are developing ice pick and rolling scars. Why ? I'm very concerned that scarring will worsen. :(
I have finished taking Accutane about 5-6 months ago. Now, I have been applying Stieva-A (same as Retin-A) 0.025% for 2.5 months (still breaking out though). I decided it would be better to stop applying Stieva-A and plan on getting actual acne scar treatments. What treatments would be the best option for my scars? I have been suffering from acne and scars for almost entire my life... I am extremely stressed. Please advise me.. Thank you very much.
My skin is getting really bad to the point where I'm crying. My cystic acne is currently flaring up- one of the nodules busted and I noticed a indentation about the size of a dime. I also have some boxcar scars and ice pick scars; it varies. At this point I'm willing to work with a doctor in my area to start accutane and then the best possible treatment. I don't want to be hit with discouraging prices. I want to take my time and do one treamtent at a time from subscision to fillers, etc...
