Acne Scars...
Posted: 11-07-07 16:32pm

hey ladies... ummm since i have got on birth control i have had a couple really bad breakouts... it seems to be getting a little bit better but like for of the evil pimples have left some really noticeable scars. i hate them ... the acne is bad enough without having to worry bout the scars too. does any body have any ideas or tricks to help the fade or make them go completly away?

thanks...

its probably due to the hoprmones

my advice if its REALLY bad see a dermatologist

other than that try some nice and easy face masks
they arent harsh on skin and they work great!

I saw this product on TV that makes the scars fade, they don't go away, but they become less noticable, but i forget what it was called

Some brands of birth control help people with acne. Some dermatologists even prescribe birth control to females just to help with that issue, not using it as any form of birth control at all; just acne control. Maybe you can go to your obgyn and tell her what is going on and see if you can switch birth controls to one that will help your acne rather than make it worse.

She doesn't need help with acne, she needs help with the scars.

Nope, links to sites that solicit products are not generally allowed.

Get maderma for scars at walmart. It's about 11 bucks, but it really works!

Also, there's a product made by AcneFree for acne scars. It comes in a white and blue box and you can find it on the face wash aisle at walmart. It comes with a lotion for old acne areas and a moisturizer. I'd buy both and begin a daily regimen. I bought them both for my husband, and I can promise that they work. In 8 weeks if you use the maderma daily, your scar will not even exist!
