Okay even if I get a really small zit that
doesnt go deep into my skin, it leaves a
redish mark that can last up to a year, or
even more! I don't understand how my skin
scars so easily. Someone told me that they
arent necissarily scars, but another type
of post acne mark? Is this possible?
I never pop or pick at my acne either
Also, I'm really fair skinned and don't
get a whole lot of sunlight. Could this
contribute to me scarring easily? I've
been taking zinc supplements to see if it
would help me scar less, but it's not
really helping.
Finally, what are some good products that
have worked well for you to remove these
marks? I'm currently using an astringent
with glycolic acid to exfoliate and I'm
also using mederma for scars.
Help would be greatly appreciated! Thank
you!

I have the same exact prob as you do! I
don't even touch my face and everything
ends up scarring. Also I have sensitive
fair skin which makes it all worse. My
first dermatologist always thought I was
lying to her when I told her that I'm not
a picker, which is one of the reasons I
don't see her anymore. I haven't tried
zinc for my scars but mederma seems to
take forever to see any results. I tried
this new laser treatment at the
dermatologist office but it was 200
dollars just for the first treatment and I
needed like 5 more before my face would be
completely scar free. So far that is the
only thing that has been successful on my
scars but since I'm a typical poor college
student I don't have the money to pay for
the rest of the treatments. I also use
glycolic acid because it makes my skin
look alot more smoother and lightened up
some of my scars.
