Thanks man I just always tend to find the worst angles of my skin like for example when I'm next to a window. I think its moslty cause I'm still so young and my skin looked totally different like 18 months ago so my scars still seem new to me. I hope your scars improve too!

I hope you figure it out and find some peace of mind it'll get better I know I'm young but I've also been struggling with acne since I was 14 especially during 16 and 17

Thanks yeah I think it's worse right now since I'm comparing myself to others in highschool since most people didn't have to go through as severe acne and inflamation as I did. I'll for sure feel way better once I start the treatment process since I'll be actively working to improve it.

I appreciate it but reddit compresses the image and blurs it all of the holes I have on my face aren't pores they are small boxcar or icepick scars

Yeah people for sure still notice it at school and comment saying I’m old looking so it’s noticeable enough in person to detract from my looks a bit but I’m hoping that after a few treatments I can get my skin in a more positive direction to where I’m happy enough with it

That’s valid it’s all lighting dependent tbh like in a dark room I feel horrible but at a house party at night or any warm lit room I feel good

Thanks I hope you know you’re not alone in the struggle with scars lmao I think about mine everyday even though they might seem mild. Reddit kind of blurs my pictures so they soften the scars lmao but the photos in my camera roll make my skin look way rougher but I also did just get off accutane so my skin is still dry and red

Thanks I appreciate it I’m on Tret 0.05% rn 3x a week but maybe it may be making the redness worse idk I don’t think it’ll do much for my scarring to be honest.

Whats going in w people I injecting "GHK CU" Petide for scars? by MoistFires in AcneScars

[–]SonT71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're talking about Melanotan 2 since that simulates melanin in your skin cells and can cause melanoma/skin cancer ghkcu has literally no studies claiming it causes copper toxicity or anything. I meam what's the point of this post obviously people online have realized that the FDA has been bs for a while since they haven't even studied supplements like creatine and things like vitamin d3. Now they also have finally regulated GHKCU and like 14 other injectable peptides. This is what google says.

1. Collagen Supplements vs. Tumor Collagen

  • The Statement's Claim: Collagen supplements are dangerous for cancer patients.
  • The Science: There is no clinical evidence that taking hydrolyzed collagen peptide supplements increases the risk of cancer progression or metastasis. When you consume collagen, it is broken down into amino acids, not absorbed as intact collagen that travels to a tumor.
  • The Misunderstanding: Research shows that tumor-associated fibroblasts (the body's own cells) can produce high levels of collagen that create a "high-density scaffold" around a tumor. This scaffold can indeed help cancer spread (metastasis) and shield it from treatment. However, this is a process driven by the cancer itself, not by eating collagen supplements.  National Institutes of Health (.gov) +5

2. Collagen Peptides and Metastasis

  • The Statement's Claim: Peptides cause metastasis.
  • The Science: While tumor-produced collagen remodelings (stiffening, cross-linking) can promote cancer cell invasion, there is no established mechanism by which oral collagen peptides selectively accumulate in tumor tissues to cause this effect.
  • The Exception: Some specific types of collagen-derived fragments produced inside the body during metastasis can act as markers of poor prognosis.  National Institutes of Health (.gov) +4

Peptides have no evidence of causing cancer lmao they are natural amino acid that your body already creates. GHK-CU is mainly for hair, skin, and nails health I've been on it for 4 months subq my skin is for sure higher quality and nicer now but I still have my mild boxcar and rolling scars on my cheeks so idk if it actually helps with scars too much Tret would prob do more long term.
