I've been struggling for years; I've tried the most expensive creams and also mixtures bought from herbalists. Still, some acne scars just won't go away. Should I just accept my skin as it is? Or should I see a dermatologist? How do you manage this process?
I also had mixtures made at the herbalist for a long time; I wasted money for nothing. I had marks like yours, and I had tried a dermaroller. But in the end, I needed to see a dermatologist, and it turned out my skin was allergic. If you want, take a look; maybe the problem is something totally different.
If I were you, I would go directly to a dermatologist. If you're in Istanbul, there's a very popular doctor in Şişli; do some research. They recommend laser treatment for scars, it's really effective. But be prepared to spend some money upfront.
I was also going through a super stressful time last year, and my face was a mess. First, I realized why I was treating my skin that way. Then I started a cleansing and moisturizing routine with small steps. There's a lot of advice on TikTok, but I think you should try the simplest ones.
Let me add this: This problem has been around since puberty, but it has become permanent in the last 5 years. The blemishes are on my face, especially on my cheeks. I have oily skin, but diet hasn't made much of a difference. It could also be due to stress or some hormonal issue.
So, have you ever been to the doctor before? Because what you’re describing sounds like a hormonal issue; it’s normal for it not to go away just with creams. Is there ever a problem with your menstrual cycle or anything?
I think there's another issue there. You've tried so many things, but it seems like there's no clear connection with diet or stress. Maybe a product you used has worsened your skin. Provide some details, which creams have you used, for example?
Let me be clear, I can't agree with those who say to just accept your skin as it is and so on. Solving this is actually like giving rights to your skin in a way. Why shouldn't you receive the care you deserve regarding your health instead of just accepting it?
Darling, appearance is very important. One should take care of themselves to show respect to others. Especially if you are of marriageable age, these matters are more noticeable. You should definitely visit a dermatologist; you should do it not only for yourself but also for others.
If you have oily skin and persistent acne scars, it is usually related to acne vulgaris or a hormonal imbalance. Consulting a dermatologist or an endocrinologist can provide a definitive diagnosis. Treatment typically involves prescription medications or laser therapy. Instead of proceeding with an over-the-counter product, professional help may be required.
