acne scar

by kiki400, Jun 03, 2009 09:26AM
Hi,

When I was about 14 (I'm 24 now) I had a blackhead on my nose for a while, i eventually got rid of it, but ever since I've been left with an unsightly scar that looks like a hole.  I'm unbelieavably self-concious about it, to the point where I'll position myself so that there is no-one seeing my "bad side" etc.  I have even been so desperate to get rid of it that on a few occasions I have scratched away at the surface of it.  Needless to say, this has never worked.  

Is there any cream or procedure I can get that would either get rid of it or at least make it look a bit better?  I'm fed up with people asking me if I've had my nose pierced!!!!

Thanks.

Hello,
For such kind of indentations,unfortunately there are no creams or ointments that can help.But laser treatment, Chemical peeling or microdermabrasion have given excellent results. Avoid picking, harsh scrubbing, and abrasive treatments unless prescribed by a dermatologist during this period.

I hope that helps.Take care and pls do keep me posted on how you are doing or if you have any additional queries.Kind regards.
