for one, your skin looks incredible despite the slight scarring. two, grow a beard or something! trust me the scars are going to be the last thing people look at. or, start weightlifting, that could be another distraction from the scars.

@mojomatt176 Thank you, I'll give weightlifting a chance.

@RKOmaster trust me it will change your life. having a muscular physique makes your skin almost secondary. check out a website called "stronglifts". they have the best lifting program. but yeah if you ever feel bad about your skin, remember that it would have been so much worse than if you hadnt used accutane. good luck with everything bro!

hi :) your scarring is not that bad. I have just finished my treatment about 7 months ago and I am looking for something that will make my scarring a little bit less obvious.mine is very very similar to yours and in the same areas.

have you done something to reduce the scars? I was talking to my doctor about laser skin resurfacing, but I read loads of reviews and most of them were really negative. any advice? cheers mate

@meadi89 Do not do laser resurfacing, I tried it, did 3 of them, didn't help at all, and it's really expensive, too. I'm using a cream called Maderma and it's helping a bit, and I may do a plasma treatment with my cosmologist soon. Look into plasma treatments, it's the latest thing to come out and supposedly it's really effective. Good luck!

@RKOmaster i have the exact same scars in almost the exact same place. i hate them soooo much. but hey no homo. "cover up" hides those sooooooo well. its kind of crazy. i was against the whole dude and make up thing but prom came around and i was desperate so i literally put a tiny (no powder visible) amount on the scar and it blocked out most of the light/shadow and made the scars look maybe half of the what they were. coming from a guy! you should seriously check it out! like no joke
