How to Heal Indented SCARS???
After developing cystic acne at age 22, my cheeks and chin developed indented scars. A long while ago, a poster here suggested that we scrub our faces *very* thoroughly with a scrub (back) brush on a daily basis, then apply Vaseline to the scars all throughout the day. Personally, I won't walk around work with shiny (Vaseline-covered) scars standing out like sore thumb.
I'm on the verge of turning 27, I still have cystic acne, and I'm still scarring. Spironolactone helps keep my breakouts at bay, but I stopped using it for a while; now, the stress of a new job has cysts cropping up; they *always* make me scar.
So if anyone can suggest ways to minimize the appearance of scars (preferably at-home methods), I'd *greatly* appreciate it.
Thanks,
Jenk
