Does deep acne scar disappear as time goes by? :
I have very bad acne scars on face and does it really disappear as time passes? or should i just get that laser acne scar treatment.
If it disaapear as time goes, how long would it take?
Ok, i've never suffered with acne but there are three other types of scarring that I have had to deal with in my life that were fairly unpleasant. I'll talk to you about what those were and how I dealt with Does deep acne scar disappear as time goes by?
Slide 3:
1) I got bitten by a dog when I was seven years old and I had thirteen stitches on my face from five deep teeth-marks: four on my left cheek and one just above my left eye. It looked bad at the time and I remember my parents talking to each-other about it (I overheard): they were discussing whether or not I might need plastic surgery (perhaps a skin graft) when I was older. I remember my mum being very upset about my looks being 'ruined' and my father telling her that they would just have to wait and see what happened and what I needed.Basically as time has gone on the scars have really faded. The one above my eye is covered by my eyebrow and isn't visible at all now. The other four can be seen but they just look like small indents (like little dimples). They can't be seen at a distance and most people don't seem to notice them straight away: sometimes someone will suddenly say, on the third or fourth occasion of my meeting them, 'oh, what's that on your face' ... like they've just noticed, or sometimes people just don't notice at all and only become aware of it if and when I tell them.These scars were never treated so I guess what I'm trying to say here is that time really is a great healer: especially if the scars were caused when you were young. My dog-bite scars don't worry me at all.
Slide 4:
2) I caught chicken-pox when I was seventeen years old and I couldn't leave it alone (even though everyone told me I had too and warned me that it would scar, lol), because it itched so much. I was left with some minor scarring on my face (pock-marks) ... mainly around my mouth and chin area. Again, I think because these scars were caused when I was still young, and my skin still maturing, over time they have faded to insignificance. They don't bother me at all and I have never had to treat them with anything.
Slide 5:
3) I began self-harming when I was fifteen years old. At first the wounds I inflicted were more like scratches and didn't scar at all. I stopped self-harming until I was in my early twenties when some personal problems led me to start again. This time though I inflicted some much deeper wounds and a lot of them. The lacerations were all caused by a razor-blade - some of them required hospital treatment, but a lot of them didn't get it so I was left with scarring. At one time the scarring would go purple first thing in the morning or during winter (whenever it was cold basically) and it really stood out. It was quite bad.
