i had really bad acne on my back, chest, and shoulders last summer.. Well, it went away and now i have theese really weird scars. I did some research and apparently they're called Hypertrophic/keloid Scars. What I couldn't find though, was how to get rid of them.. Apparently, they are supposed to clear up in 2-3 years. Well, i'm 15 right now so they are still going to be there most of the years that I really don't want them.. I can't go swimming, and im worried about doing anything with a girlfriend because it would weird her out.. I got acne on my back again this year but it's not as bad as last year, so i don't think it will leave scars. But yeah.. anything anyone could tell me about how to get rid of theese things or at least cope with it would be cool..
thanks.

After a few weeks, you will most definitely see results. I always tell everyone to get this if they have scars,blemishes,uneven skin tones etc. You can get it at most places.
Secondly, don't worry about potential girlfriends. They won't be weirded out by scars on your back. and if they are, they obviously are shallow and don't deserve you.
Lastly, acne on backs is very common.
Apply spot treatment to the new spots. Perhaps even add some Tea Tree oil to them. Works wonders.
It will clear within time.
Try not to worry about it too much. [ thelaura's advice column | Ask thelaura A Question ]
hollister_lover09 answered Tuesday September 18 2007, 4:00 pm: try coco butter cream. Or the tanning bed?. Tanning helps clear up acne, maybe the scars too? && she wont be weird out, my boyfriend has acne on his back and it doesnt bother me at all. Everyone is differnt, but if she really likes you, Im sure she wont care. [ hollister_lover09's advice column | Ask hollister_lover09 A Question ]
