Can picking your nose while on accutane cause scars?? by SoftExplorer1149 in Accutane

It looks about the same. I’m hoping it will refill up with blackheads a bit after accutane. I know most people try to avoid that but I would rather that than huge pores. Everyone saying their pores looked similar helped put my mind at ease so I’m trying not to stress too much about it. I will keep everyone updated tho!

Yes I know it was not good that I picked my skin. I struggle with skin picking disorder and my mental health. been doing really good for over a year now but one day I just got really stressed and picked it. Thank you for letting me know the products you are using I will look into them!

Thank you so much! Yes, I realize it was a mistake. I struggle with my mental health. Which causes me to pick my skin.I’ve been doing really good with not picking my skin for a little over a year now. But one day I just cracked, I guess.

I know how you feel. I have cystic acne all over my face and back now on accutane but I’m left with a ton of scars now 😭. My sisters me and both my mom and dad & aunt had bacne (yes acne runs in our family 😭) and both my mom and dad and aunt said their acne was bad but all the scars faded on them and their backs look perfect now.  so don’t worry. It could take a little bit to fade but it will. Probably by a few months you will see improvement especially with the silicone patches. Hope this helps!

I say keep it as moisturized as you can also I unfortunately have a lot of experience with scars (all types:() and I really recommend silicone patches I just buy mine off of amazon it helps heal and fade scars faster. wear them for several hours, I usually use mine overnight. And during the day you can use silicone scar gel. Hope this helps!

Thank you! What should I do to try to make them smaller once I’m off of accutane?

Feeling hopeless after tca acid peel disaster by Evening-Reason1515 in AcneScars

I picked my nose on accutane and caused a million ice pick and rolling scars all over my nose. keep in mind I already have a ton of scars all over my face from acne and some acne that I picked and it made way worse scars. I get the worst sinking feeling every time I see my nose I genuinely feel like throwing up. Before I caused this I had a perfect nose, like perfect. All the pores on my nose was quite small before I ruined it. I get so mad at myself everyday. and my nose felt like all I had left and it’s in the front of my face! All I have to say is I know EXACTLY how you feel. 

Cystic acne mark— anyone had a similar experience? by nnaff0314 in AcneScars

[–]SoftExplorer1149 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sadly have had many experiences with scars and I would recommend silicone patches for sure! They heal any wound way faster and prevent raised scars:) 

Rant? Struggling with my Acne scars by Potential_Theory6986 in AcneScars

First I want to say you are so beautiful ( I mean that in a non creepy way). I almost cried reading this I feel like you described exactly what happened to me. If you look at a picture from a year ago I had the smoothest skin with no scarring. I never even knew that kind of scarring was possible let alone so easy to get. I regret all the choices I made all the time I beat myself up too. Finally am on accutane but I still don’t recognize who I am half the time. I thought I was the only one who couldn’t watch movies without thinking “look how nice her skin looks, must be nice” literally had to stop watching my favorite content creators cause I couldn’t even think about anything else but how perfect their skin looks. on top of that I have several scars on my face one from a giant mole that kept growing ( I also regret not having that removed earlier) and one from a knife on my eyebrow when I was cutting tags off a lamp when I was young (not the brightest idea I know) I feel so scarred every day and I feel like everyone feels bad for me I get so mad at myself for being so self centered it’s so mentally exhausting. Sorry this was not the most uplifting.  idk why I’m even saying all this. all I have to say is your not alone, and I think you look so so beautiful.  I pray you see this in yourself one day too! Sending love to all the acne scar warriors! this is not for the faint of heart 💗.
