I don't know if you understand exactly what a doctor did to me. I think the procedure I had is called acne surgery. I am not sure if the alternate name is comedone extraction--he used needle anyway. He convinced me that he should do this to me. From the first time, my face became totally red, and there was blood everywhere in my face. This situation continued for 3 treatments more (continued breaking the new spots). I changed doctor and did therapy of minaxen pills. Now, I am 21 and I have multiple small, needle-sized scars on my forehead, and some bigger-sized scars on my cheeks, which still look red. Help!
I agree with others who replied. You likely have ice pick acne scars which you attribute to the previous acne surgery but which is likely unrelated to it. The best treatment for this is deep facial resurfacing and punch excisions with repair. The resurfacing does not have to be a laser or with Fraxel and combination treatments work best.
I have acne scars (kind of bulges) all over my nose and on my chin. I got the pimples when I was in my teenage and they stayed for ever on my nose leaving as bulges. It is making me looking worse. What kind of surgery helps me to remove these bulges and have a clean nose. I an 25 years old Female Asian origin. Will laser surgery help me to remove the acne scars or bulges. Your response is greatly appreciated.
I agree that laser surgery, chemical peels, and dermabrasion may all be of benefit to you. But I think you should know that while acne surgery will help a lot, the goal of treatment would be improvement, not a perfect, “clean” nose. But don’t despair. Certainly, there is help for your condition.
