I went to a medi spa last year and had laser tretaments done. These treatments didn’t do a thinkg for the pock marks. what a waste of money.

So being EXTREMELY depressed aboout my appearance and not dating because I am scared of rejection, I went to a plastic surgeon. He thinks dermabrasion may help. But he said it is hard to guess at what the results will be like. he said if I decide to do the dermabrasion, I should take 3 weeks, preferably 4 weeks, off from school/work, avoid sun, etc to allow my skin to heal properely.

I want to do it if there is a chance it will help, but I am so fed up with spending so much $$ on stuff, only to be let down. If I get this done, not only will it cost a lot of money to get it done, but the time off from work is going to cost me as well.

I’ve had body acne (back, chest, and shoulders – the whole 9 yards) for about 4 years – and throughout all of them, I made the awful mistake of picking at almost every blemish I got. Unfortunately, African-American skin scars very easily from such damage. Just as unfortunately, I haven’t really decided to do anything about it until about 3 months ago (March). I’ve been using Vaseline Cocoa Butter Deep Conditioning Cream just about every day since then. Some of the more recent scars have faded, but the ones that have been there for the whole 4 years are still going strong. Anyway, I would really appreciate any suggestions on what to do about this – products, herbs, anything! I’ve also been given the option to visit a spa in the near future, and any advice on what sort of treatment would help reduce scars would also be great.

Acne vulgaris, also known as common acne, is a problem that affects the lives of many teenagers (as well as adults).Pimples and breakouts can persist into adulthood , as if teenage acne is not embarrassment enough. People are always on the search for a treatment of acne that will ensure control and decrease breakouts. For many people, controlling acne(http://www.mitamins.com/disease/Acne.html) is a constant process because most of the time, treatment is only a momentary reprieve from the symptoms. This is the reason that the most effective treatments of acne are ones that wipe out pimples as well as maintain optimal health for the body, so that the rate of future breakouts is low. Taking acne medication for one’s lifetime is rather excessive for most people, It is for this reason that a lot of people are looking for alternatives to antibiotics in the form of zinc supplements. However, the question remains- Does zinc work?

Acne is a skin disorder that normally affects teenagers or adolescents. Many attribute this condition to the raging hormones in a teen’s body. This inflammatory skin disorder is primarily caused by the hair follicle and the oil gland that comes with it. Lesions and inflammation occur in areas where the sebaceous glands produced too much oil in addition to an accumulation of other impurities. Excessive shedding of skin which sometimes happens during puberty may also contribute to the creation of acne.
