Chemical Peels to remove acne scars = keloids?

Question

I'm 22 yrs old, asian with a medium/beige skintone. I've got slight but many acne scarring on one side of my cheek and the other side seem to have form keloids or hypertropic scars. I've got a history of forming keloids especially from piercings and my primary physician did mention it can occur from acne.

My question is would it be ok for me to have chemical treatments without triggering keloids to possibly come out? I had a consultation at the spa, but jeez the lady that consulted me didn't even know the answer. Can anyone pls. help? Thanks!

Answer 1

Hypertropic scars are extremely difficult to treat! Even keloids can be quite challenging. People who form these types of scars are at risk for forming them anytime they have an injury or procedure done that involves the integrity of the skin.

Only a dermatologist would be able to answer this question...after examining your skin. So, please see a dermatologist. In fact, I would recommend that any treatment you receive be done by a dermatologist, not a spa. You will have a greater chance of a successful outcome and avoid the risk of forming more of these difficult scars.

Dry and/or greasy skin due to poor oil composition of the skin. Thick greasy oils clog pores, lack of oil leads to dryness and irritation. You need thin oils to moisturize while dissolving and clearing gunk in your poors. Try fish oil or seafood. 2 tsp fish oil a day or 4 servings of seafood a week. Stick it out for at least 2 months; it will take a long time to replace all your oil. Any effect after 1-2 days is temporary or random; so even if it makes you break out a little at first, you haven't given it a full try yet.

In the short term you can wash and moisturize well, but that will only go so far. Plus excessive washing can be drying and excessive moisturizing can be clogging. Use a small amount of a light moisturizer, made with oil not jelly or grease. Often that means soybean oil or mineral oil. Mineral oil means mined from the ground. So soybean oil is usually better, though mineral oil won't cause too much harm. Clean with soap and water, not a harsh acne cleanser. Even then they only work so well. So you really need the seafood.

Antibiotics aren't really good for bacteria long term, they'll come back in force after. Short term they may help. After you get off them find some kefir with acidophilus listed first or 2nd to replace the friendly bacteria they destroyed. Studies show less illness when you have these bacteria, even outside the stomach in places such as the lungs and elsewhere. You want friendly bacteria to fill the void when the antibiotics stop, not harmful ones.

In the short term you might also try 100,000+ iu retinol vitamin A (a megadose, and too much for normal use) or one of the acne drugs that is similar to retinol vitamin A. It's some minor harm to your organs, but it helps against bacteria on your skin. At least it doesn't have the other long term drawbacks to your skin that antibiotics and many scrubs do.

Before talking about the remedies, there's something you should know, when it comes to acne. Apart from being directly related to the infection of the skin, pimples are responsible for the loss of collagen. Collagen is a component of skin that provides elasticity. Each time it is pressed or a pimple breaks, these causing the infection go deeper into the skin, thus causing an increase in the loss of collagen. This certainly makes acne scars are deeper, so that the skin heals more slowly and face loses elasticity.  # 1 lemon The high content of vitamin C in lemons helps rebuild collagen in the skin. Just squeeze a lemon and apply some juice in the face with a cotton ball. Save juice for later by storing in the refrigerator. In case you need some moisture while applying the juice, you can mix oil with vitamin E. Lemon mask: Milk - 1 tablespoon Almond Oil - 1 tablespoon (optional) Honey - 1 tablespoon Lemon juice - 1 tbsp Method - and mix them gently applied to the skin once a day for a week or 10 days. Note - After applying lemon juice on the face, do not go into the sun, as this will cause acne scars from turning brown.   # 2 Honey I bet you had heard of this method to remove acne scars. Honey is the most popular natural treatment for skin problems and acne scars are no different. You can apply the honey directly on your face and let stand overnight or mix honey with one teaspoon of cinnamon powder and leave for about an hour or leave overnight. Honey Mask: Yogurt - 1 tablespoon Milk - 1 tablespoon Honey - 2 tablespoons Method - Put all the ingredients to create a smooth consistency, let stand in refrigerator until mixture is cool, compact and finally water on the face once a day for a week.   # 3. Fenugreek seeds Take some fenugreek leaves and blend to create a puree. Proceed to apply the mixture to your face or where you're experiencing acne scars. Rinse after 20 or 30 minutes. Repeat this process every day for as long as necessary.   # 4. Tomatoes They are not only delicious, but also have amazing healing properties. Tomatoes are loaded with vitamin A which stimulates the renewal of skin cells replacing old acne scars, new ones. You can crush a tomato and apply the paste on your face, or you can enhance with other vegetables like avocado and cucumber. You have a thick paste with all ingredients and apply on your face with your fingers. Wash after 20 or 30 minutes.   # 5. Aloe Vera and turmeric Enzymes, polysaccharides and nutrients are contained in this gift of nature. The aloe vera plant is a must in every home. It has anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties, removes toxins and balances the natural moisture levels in the skin. Aloe vera is one of the few plants that can repair acne scars. Turmeric, second exfoliates the skin without being aggressive, due to their anti-inflammatory benefits. An unbeatable duo might say. It combines the two ingredients and cover the skin uniformly massaging gently with your fingers. Leave on for 20 minutes before rinsing with warm water.
