Scars on Chest

This section of the forum is dedicated to discussions on managing, treating, and correcting acne scarring. (Of note, Dr. Lam is focused principally on acne scarring rather than on managing the ongoing condition of acne, which a dermatologist would be better equipped to address.)

Scars on Chest

Postby happyfungirl » Wed Apr 09, 2008 5:32 pm

First I must say that I love, love, LOVE your site!
I can't believe how much work you put into client education/care...priceless.

My question is about old acne scars on my chest.
The pimple would never surface,
then when it healed, it left the mark underneath.
My skin has a spotchy look (not sexy!). :cry:
I have light skin, but these spots can still be seen.
I have been self-conscious for so long.
Is there a remedy?

Tans don't even the tone out, only accent the issue.
I was told that maybe a strong TCA peel would work...
but I didn't understand that, because the problem is under the skin.

If you need pics, I can get those for you.
Thanks so much!
HFG

I really focus on the face. I would rather you ask a dermatologist or body plastic surgeon, as I try to restrict my expertise to facial cosmetic issues. I wish I could be more helpful. If it is just placing some Restylane under depressed scars, I can do that. But, in general, you probably would be best served by seeking a cosmetic dermatologist or body PS.
best,
