How to help scarring from picking spots?

Hi. Picked my spots since I was 11, gross I know. I don’t get so many spots any more…lets say 5 to 10 a week. I always pick them but it’s not that upsets me. I have the will power not to pick them but I look in the mirror and because I have scarring from previous spots that I have picked, I think “what difference will it make” and I go and make more scarring. My scarring isn’t that terrible at all, but it is noticable (even with foudation on) how and what will help to get rid of my scarring? Or hide it? Thank you.

Answer #1

there is a cream out at the pharmacy I cant remember the name of it but they have been advertising it a lot on the T.V. they should know what you are talking about. It is suppose to help make scars less noticable. good luck

Answer #2

try to wash your face with a lathering soap for a few months and mosturize your face with a good cream and to cover them put makeup on and try not to think so much about them , im sure you’ll be fine

Answer #3

There is a medical method that some people have found helpful but I doubt you will be able to access this until you are older.

See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dermabrasion

Your best bet would be to speak to your doctor and explain how it makes you feel. Doctors will generally understand the effect this can have on a teen girl.

See what he suggests. Ther may be treatments available that I am unawre of and they can certainly give you something that should cut down on the amount of new spots you get.

If you are nervous, maybe see if one of your friends will go with you.

Best of luck
