I did have mild acne for a couple of years on my back and I didn't bother to do anything about it, but now I am on ethromycin and it has nearly cleared up. I'm just being left with scar tissue where it was.
My first question is whether anyone knows how long it might take for the scar tissue to ever heal, assuming it ever will. Months? Years?
The second is whether you ever had acne and your experiences with it. How you got rid of it etc. Cheers.

I get it a lot on my upper back and chest though, and sometimes shoulders. It's out of sight most of the time, so I usually just ignore it. I'll wash it of course, but that's it. It'll go away on it's own. |

I have it on my chin, under my chin, and along my jawline. I think it is the major reason I don't get the women. Other than that,

Unfortunately, the scars left by acne may never go away. However, if the scars really bother you, you can always opt for laser surgury. It's a little costly but, the results are really good. I'd advise you to talk to a dermatologist to get all the facts and options. |

I don't really have any problems with it. I do, however, have a friend who calls himself "Oily Boy" because of his large acne problem.
Anyone who has a "different" remedy and cares to share it, lemme know and I'll pass it on to him.

wake up with a beautiful stranger | | Join Date: Jan 2001 Location: Australia ~ Sydney, NSW | | | drink lots of water to flush out your system. when you're pissing out clear urine at the end of the day, you're clean and this assists in ridding all the bad stuff that adds to the excess oil on your skin - i know it works, because a friend of mine drinks 3 litres of H2O a day and he's bloody well spotless.
it's a hard regime to stick to, though.

|  | *******er Emeritus(does anyone remember that? No?) | | Join Date: Apr 2000 Location: Houston, Texas | | | i used to have it real bad back in junior high. Nowadays I still have some, but its not as bad as in junior high. Alot of my acne, however, was caused by stress. Now that I'm much more care-free these days I'm sure that contributed it to going down.
I heard about drinking alot of water helps, but i thought it was a myth. I guess I'll try that to get rid of some exisiting acne.

"i'm, uh, i'm reading! GO AWAY!" | *ToBeS*, I hear that you've been without a girlfriend for a while, too.
