    I have these acne scars on my face, little holes, I am wondering if there is a way to get rid of them somehow?

    Also anyone know what vitamins are essential? I`ve been taking 1000 grams of vitamin C and its making feel awake and great. Just started taking Vitamin D too.

    Thanks

    There are a range of options for acne itself...but I've never heard of anything that can help with scars short of surgery. Over time scars do fade somewhat though, although they will never completely disappear. I have a lot of acne scarring too.

    I'm dubious about the vitamins thing...who told you about that?

    A doctor suggested I take Vitamin C to help stop my gums from bleeding. It doesn`t help with just that though.. it`s making feel energetic and more attentive all day.

    Surgery huh. that sucks.

    Look into a microderm. Not 100% sure what it is but I hear about it from the ladies on occasion. They do it, sounds decent.

    Depends how bad it is, but usually microdermabrasion works great.

    I can't say because I haven't gotten it done myself, but I hope this helps. Personally, I would go to a spa/salon. I doubt at-home treatments work that well, and as long as you go to a reputable spa, you shouldn't need to go to a doctor.

    icepick scars (the super small ones that look kinda deep) can be punched out. The larger ones have to be dealt with with less results. Like laser

    supplements are working for you? Thats great!


    I had very bad oily and cystic acne, zinc for 2 wks and I had a clean non oily face, it healed my scars within 3 months completely. It was a miracle supplement for me.

    Oh, and it makes your pores smaller, so that could help as well

    I tried zinc supplements before. Not sure if it helped my acne scars. I will give it a shot.

    What about vitamin E?

    There's no such thing as cheap surgery.

    It's not really surgery. More like advanced exfoliation.

    Maybe you're born with it? Maybe it's Maybelline!

    (make-up will cover those right up, I'm sure... :cool: )
