Scaring from spots and blemishes

I've started using bio-oil and it seems to be helping. I have a lot of redness caused by a mixture of acne scars and chicken pox scars, and the bio-oil seems to keep the redness down. I've come to the conclusion that I'm stuck with them for life, but trying to make it less noticeable seems to be working.

Most acne scars will heal, did a doctor tell you that you would be stuck with them for life?

They're quite bad I was told it wasn't likely they'd fade completely. I've not had a proper bout of acne now for about 3 years, the occasional spot breakout, but nothing out of the ordinary or acne like, and the scars are still as red as they were then.

I've naturally got very pale skin too which makes them all the more noticeable. I also seem to scar very easily. I still have a scar from a wasp sting three years ago, and any spot I get now leaves a red mark for months afterwards.

I'm just unlucky I guess *shrugs*

Considered laser therapy?

Even so I wouldn't worry about it too much. Me personally, I don't pay any attention to a womans skin. I used to have acne, my scars have all healed, so I know what it's like.

If you feel really bad I could lend you a paper bag? :nl:

Joke, dont worry about it

So is that the brand name - Bio Oil - or just a product and where do you get it? Tryed and failed with a lot of products, the new clearasil bleached my hair and eyebrows which was pretty funny so I aim to avoid that.

Only quickly scanned this thread. Just wanted to say please don't try acid peels whatever that is as it probably just causes even more damage. The only way to fix it is to let your body heal naturally and moisturise daily.
