I’ve heard that putting vitamin E on scars will help them fade. Is there a way to get rid of them?

“Scars will never go away, but their appearance can be improved dramatically. The younger you are, the more time a scar has to diminish and disappear,” says Dr. James Spencer, a dermatologist at Mt. Sinai Hospital in New York.

Doctors can use a laser to shrink the scar tissue. “You can even move the scar to more unnoticeable place—food for facial scars. With raised or indented scars, smoothing procedures even out the surface of the skin.”

As for the wonders of vitamin E? “It does nothing,” says Dr. Spence.

I'm only 14 and I already have wrinkles on my forehead. I try not to scrunch it up but I just do it without thinking. How can I get rid of it/ prevent it?

i have pimples just starting out being a 11 and my mother gives epiduo to get rid of it and it burns my face should i use it or should i stick w washing my face every nite and morning? plz help me i dont wanna make my face peel hoing to skool but i dony=t want to start sixth grade looking like a pimple freak what do i do?

 

Hey girl, if it burns your face I would go to a dermatologist and ask what he or she might recommend. Maybe they would have a cream that might help you out more, and they'll know exactly what to do for your specific acne. Also be sure to keep washing your face every night and morning! If you're not using the Epiduo you could also try other things instead like masks or spot treatment creams.

MOD! Im just getting over a bad break out and I have some things that look like scars on my face from the acne, will they go away? And would it be ok to cover them with a little bit of make up until they do go away (mom said I could finally try tht) but do you know of any cover up that wont make me break out again, what should I try? PLEASE ANSWER! (Non of my q's have been answered in a week) Thank You!

 

Hey girl, it's likely the scars will fade with time.  In the meantime a little coverup will definitely help conceal them.  Try cover-up that is labeled "oil-free", sensitive skin, etc.  I like Covergirl or maybelline.  Powder makeup is a safe bet, but steer clear of products that contain oil and moisture.

ok so my back has really bad acne but right now its doing ok, the problam is i have millions of brown scars scattered everywhere on the uperhalf of my back and they are very unpleasent to look at. i used to pick at the acne constantly and i am now paying the price by not being able to wear certian clothes, i also have many scars on my face for the same reason but most of them have gone anyway from sum over the counter treatmants. i have tried lots of stuff on my back and the dermetologist is out of the question. do you have a cheap or natural way tha will get rid of the acne scares. any advice will be apriciatedSmile

 

Hey girl, I suggest seeing a dermatologist who can help prevent acne and help your scars! There are scar fading creams like Mederma, or the dermatologist can prescribe something even stronger to help your skin. Good luck babe!
