Acne Scars..... You Know How That Is On a Girl..
Posted: 10-07-07 14:44pm

ok... i admit it... i picked on a pimple during high school and now there is a scar

it's on my nose and it's rather deep... it's not a scar that's just on top of the skin... it's an actual hole...

i don't know how i can get rid of it... i know it depends and it's very difficult to get rid of ... esp since it's on my nose...

but do you have any suggestions? has anyone tried anything? i don't want to be tricked into getting something if i go to a doc.. but i am still looking for something that might work

I totally agree with dyanmatteson, have gotten rid of severla pits and scars...well not completely, but have deminished to almost non existance! Can buy these Vitamin E capsules at your local dollar store, poke it with a pin and rub the oil in sparingly severla times a day. As the above stated, it takes time, but it does work!

I've got "craters" too, but I had cystic acne and I picked at almost every single one of them... it's not horrible scarring but it is a little noticeable.

not 5 years. maybe a couple weeks or a month or too. you want to put the oil on the skin. it softens it up and it goes away. my mom had a ton of scars from it and she used vitamin e oil and you cant really tell any more. you can also buy a vial of the oil so you dont have to poke a pill. but poking the pill is fun:)

i have been told that microdermabrashion (not sure on that spelling)....although expensive... is the only thing that will really help very much from my doctor... true?
