Scars

Scars appear in pink, brown or silvery lines on the skin. Scars are the aftermath of accidents, surgery, skin disease, burns, acne, infection and cuts and scrapes.

The process of scarring is actually your skin's natural way to repair itself from injury. When a thick layer of skin tissue is damaged, our bodies start replacing it with collagen fibers, a kind of protein that our bodies reproduce. Wounds don't become scars until the skin beneath it has healed entirely. Although the skin heals, injured hair follicles or sweat glands can't recover as easily. Therefore, scars are left as noticeable evidence of the injury.

I AM A WOMAN OF COLOR WITH MEDIUM/DARK SKIN TONE. I HAD AN ACCIDENT AND AFTER SURGERY ON MY NOSE I WAS LEFT WITH A UGLY DARKER SCAR ON MY NOSE. I HAVE TRIED ALL KIND OF CREAMS AND TONERS NOTHING WORKS. I HAVE TO WEAR HEAVY MAKE UP DAILY TO COVER UP THE SCAR. WHAT DO YOU SUGGEST.

I am 18 and have had acne for a number of years. Most of the blemishes are now not raised spots but more like red dots, are these scars? & If so will seeing a dermatologist enable me to get rid of them. It severely depresses me. Thanks.

Recently i had had a special kind of facial done and because of the mask that was used on my face, my skin peeled and now i have a multitude of various types of scars along my jaw line, most of which are brown and makeup cannot even cover the spots. I have looked at many procedures and all are far to expensive. Is there a cream or procedure i can use/do to eliminate my awful skin condition and get my self esteem back?
