One of my experiences at the Dermatologist was about scaring. I ask her what I could do to treat and prevent scars, if there was any OTC stuff or a treatment they could do she said there was truthfully nothing. After coming home in tears again, I started looking and researching myself and I found some pretty good things that helped. The first is lavender oil, it breaks up the melanin which is the formation of dark marks like a freckle. It can be used mixed with a little almond oil or any kind of carrier oil. I put a couple of drops in my moisturizer and it works. and it has a relaxing smell. Also a serum that has vitamin C is great but can only be used at night because when it hits the sun it does not work. Retinol is very good too. I have tried the perscripson differin, in 0.01%, 0.02% and 0.03% also tried tazorac , and did not like them, the best I found is differin lotion 0.01% and neutrogena rapid wrinkle repair. They dont need to be used every night, only like one or two nights a week. Also vitamins help, vitamin C helps with dark marks and helps rebuild tissue and collagen it is one of the top ones to take. You can take 1,000mg total 500mg in the morning and 500 at evening for about a week and then bring it down to 500mg a day. The second is vitamin A it also helps rebuild skin and also reduces oily skin 8,000mg a day is good. Zinc is very good to take with vit C and vit A. 50mg a day is the top amount to take but DO NOT take on an empty stomach it will make SO dizzy I have thrown up from it.Not fun! The only way to take it is to break it up into three pieces and take each tiny piece with a meal, if you still get nauseous just dont take it I personally would not take take 50mg for longer then a month. There are many other vitamins to take for different reasons but these are some the basics. You can always message me for help!

The next kind of scarring is concave scarring where it starts to dip. Now the most important thing I learned about it, is it takes three YEARS for your collagen to rebuild deep scars and in that time the scars will seem better and worse until that three years is up and the it does not really change. Mine has usually changed for the better. But when one batch gets better there's usually another batch to go... But the only two products I have found to rebuild the skin (because I have had holes in my face! like, open holes! several layers deep!) is neosporin CREAM not the clear jelly type kind this is a white cream you have to read the box its sometimes hard to notice. But you pack it into the fresh open wound and instead of a bandaid which holds moisture, and if you have acidy acne like me holds the infection there and makes it worse, Try taking a cotton ball or pad and ripping it until you have a thin flat piece and press it onto the neosporin on your face and let it dry.You can the sleep with it on and change it morning and night It will rebuild your skin and the neosporin is antibacterial, and a pain reliever the cotton pulls out every last bit of infection and lets the skin breathe. The second product that really works is Triderma healing lotion it takes out redness and is used for sores. It is very thick but not greasy you can glob it on a spot and it heals faster and takes out redness and is around $7.00 for a lot of product. (You can find it next to the neosporin at walmart.
