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
But I didnt use it because I had depression at that time
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
As silly as it seems, mostly just a question of being kind to yourself. I had acne and then after accutane regimens twice some scarring - took a while to realize most people only care about it as much as you do. Dermatologists can likely recommend something for skin repair, I have a cream with zinc oxide personally and have found that helpful but again trust a doctor vs people on the internet
I did some research some people says laser treatment also works but Its expensive and u need to do 5 to 6 sessions
and some doctors says dermaroller works good also against acne scarring
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.
and It works I dont have a lot of acne anymore
that won't help with existing scarring.
ow yeah I agree
see a dermotologist, there's things you can do, like microneedling or other treatments, but they're going to depend on your skin
yeah Im thinking to do microneedling at home also
i would not do this
why
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
Professional will rip me off also
Counterpoint: A professional will do it properly
I can even buy a microneedling pen to my self
the automatic one
Yeah I understood your point thank you for the advice
but there is a lot of people who is doing it to theirself
and I dont have that much money to pay for a professional
I would see a dermatologist again
If you only have Medicaid, I've heard it's frustrating finding someone but there are some doctors that take it
yea some doctors are Dont even care
the doc see my back full of acne and Immediately said roaccutane what If I dont want to use it
Was your acne severe? I thought accutane was for severe acne. In any case, you can get a second opinion from a different doctor
maybe I will go there/ to the dermo yeah but I also keep researching treatments online
Dermo > researching treatments online
Also there are different types of acne scars so there may not be a one size fits all solution for clearing them
