Ok .. i dont know if this is the rightr catagory but..
I used to have acne really bad on my chest (I still do but not even near as bad as i did before). And now, even though it's better, i Have acne scars on my breasts and it makes me so self conscious. I also have what looks like stretch marks (but they might be scars too.. i dont really know why i would have stretch marks because my boobs aren't that big).
But is there any way to get rid of these things? I dont even like letting my fiance see me... is there some kind of lotion or laser surgery or SOMETHING? Please help me.
angel3102 answered Friday July 28 2006, 1:42 am: the best thing that you can use is cocoa cutter, That softens, tightens and replenishis the skin. That would be for what you think might be stretch marks.. You don't have to have big breasts to get them. people get stretch marks from either rapid growth. Growth faster than the skin is growing or because weight gain and then weight loss. But that will help tame them. They won't go away but they will be less noticible over time. get pure coca butter. Can be found in the baby section at your store where the new mothers stuff is. For the dark marks. Use clinique toner. clinige is sold at Dillard's. That is awesome for any part of your body especially for the face. They also sell body washes that are awesome. It will cost about 15.00 for a bottle but it will be worth it. Neither of these are a miracle it won't work over night but over time you will see results [ angel3102's advice column | Ask angel3102 A Question ]

The scars or like darker spots.. last about 2 weeks or something, or it will go away in 2 weeks. ? I don't know, but this lotion stuff whatever it does.. makes it go away, bottomline.

I used to have acne scars on my face and it's worked really well for me, so I imagine it would do the same for your chest.
LM answered Thursday July 27 2006, 9:49 pm: Have you considered seeing a dermatologist? If it's still severe, they can prescribe an antibiotic such as doxycycline, which will get rid of the bacteria under you skin causing the acne. They can also help you treat the scars the acne leaves behind, but they WILL fade with time, so don't worry. Same thing with the stretch marks- they'll eventually fade. If you don't want to wait that long, there are laser treatments that can significantly reduce their appearance. But they can be expensive. Also, I've heard that cocoa butter can help fade them, but I'm not certain. (Heck, its worth a try, isnt it?)
As for not liking your fiance see you: Unless he's a horrible person (which I'm doubting, since you're engaged) he loves you for who you are, and not for a few blemishes on your skin. Plus, you notice them more than he ever will.
