Scars, scars and more scars
by missy0517, Jun 27, 2009 08:31PM
Hello,
I'm supposed to go to the dermatologists for numerous skin problems but I'd like some more information first.
I have had ingrowns on my lower belly ever since I had the great idea to shave. But they caused me to have numerous small dark spots and I would like to get rid of these scars definitely. I've heard talk about cortisone shots to regenerate the skin and getting rid of the hyper pigmentation but I would like some more information.on what would be the best cure a dermatologist can propose.
I also have many dark spots on my back after an allergic reaction, and I am wondering what kind of treatment I can receive for that.
I'm also self-conscious about my legs where my pores appear darker than my natural skin tone and would like to know if dermabraison would be a solution and if it would be wiser to go see a dermatologist than an cosmetician.
Lastly, I would like to know what treatment I may follow to get rid of acne scars on my face.
May I also bring to your attention that I'm African-American. I know that some treatments do not work on my type of skin such as dermabraison.
Thank you so much for answering my questions!
