Scar Removal: Eliminate Hyperpigmentation and Skin Discoloration

Scar removal does not have to consist of painful and expensive laser therapy. However, it is going to take more than just scar creams and onion extract or vitamin E. The good news is that scar removal can take place in the comforts of your own home regardless of what your dermatologist may have told you. Your dermatologist will recommend medicated creams or refer you to a laser therapy treatment because that is how they make money. Truthfully, eliminating scars does not have to be painful, and it does not have to cost you an arm and a leg. Scars are not permanent,  and unlike the popular myths, you do not need invasive surgery or medicated creams.

You may have acne scars, hyperpigmentation, or scars for some other reason, but if you wear more clothing than you are comfortable in because of this nuisance, then it is time you are alleviated of your burden. Right? The scars you have might not even be your own fault and acne scars are a perfect example of this. I mean, if you are a man, you may be able to live with them, but scars can be very detrimental to a woman’s self-esteem and lead to unhealthy levels of insecurity. This is why I wanted to share this information, but if you have a high pain tolerance and the money to spare, laser scar removal treatments are certainly very effective.

Scar removal can be accomplished several different ways where the discoloration is eliminated and the smooth, natural texture of the healthy skin returns. Hyperpigmentation is often the result of older scars, and this can be treated just as effectively as the redness and discoloration of skin caused by recent damage.

For those of you would prefer to remove scars naturally, there are ways to do it that are dermatologist approved and clinically proven to work. They even work for skin damage that you may have thought to be irreparable. Here is a list of scars that can be remedied naturally:

• Acne


• Keloid


• Burns


• Cuts


• Stretch marks


• Hypopigmentation (lighter discoloration)


• Hyperpigmentation (darker discoloration)


• Sunken/recessed


• Hypertrophic/raised

If you happen to find that it helps, or if you find better information elsewhere, it would be much appreciated by many if you would share you experience or knowledge here in the comments. Thank you

How Martha Rotter Cured Her Acne By Self-Experimentation

Several months ago I posted about how Martha Rotter figured out that her acne was caused by cow dairy products. Now a longer version of her story (by me) is on Boing Boing. There is a ton of useful information in the comments. Some examples:

“Dairy is what caused my acne.” Someone replied: “Same here, specifically milk. I switched to soy milk in high school and my moderately-bad acne went away very suddenly. . . . If I eat a lot of cheese at once, like having pizza more than a couple days a week, my backne gets worse and I get acne inside my ears.”Someone else misunderstands genetics: “I do have tumor-forming disease (fortunately stable, and partially corrected with surgery) so I do have some sympathy when it comes to this sort of thing, but my condition is so well established as genetic I never even saw hope in trying to control it with diet.” Aaron Blaisdell had a well-established genetic condition (porphyria) that went away when he changed his diet.

Someone else found that dairy mattered:

I had terrible acne as a teenager and I drank almost a carton of milk every day. . . .  When I moved  out on my own, I no longer had milk delivered at the door and I fell out of the habit of drinking it altogether, switching to tea and water instead. My face cleared within weeks. . . . Whenever I indulged in cheese, the break-outs returned.

Someone else discovered multiple causes:

I have had strikingly similar experiences with a very particular form of acne, for years. Multiple doctors with no results until I got frustrated with it. I heard that the four most common causes of skin reactions can be wheat, milk, peanut butter and eggs – so I took all of them out *and* meat.

And watched my skin slowly return to normal.

After playing with my food by putting one thing in, seeing what happened, and then taking that out and trying something else, I found that wheat in particular is the trigger for me with dairy as a close second.

Someone else: “I took wheat from my diet, and my skin cleared up. If I allow wheat back in for one day, the next day I have acne.”

Not all solutions were dietary:

My wife and I found the only thing that worked reliably–even including a couple of different kinds of antibiotics–was “the regimen” as described on acne.org. Basically you use a low-strength (2.5%) benzoyl peroxide every day and moisturise like mad afterwards.

These are just examples. There are many more helpful comments.

Acne: Reality is Not a Morality Tale

Someone named Red Fury made an interesting comment on my Boing Boing article about acne:

I had acne on/off for years. . . . In my mid-thirties, I tried the Retin-A at night, antibiotic gel for day regimen for about 2 years – no effect. . . . Then, I was talking to a co-worker whose daughter was taking ‘modeling classes’ to become a teen model. She casually mentioned her acned daughter had to give up rice, potato chips, and bread, all of which are high-glycemic index foods. My quack-radar went off, and I looked around for something scientific behind that advice. http://www.ajcn.org/content/86…

Huh. I guess those  nutrition-bashing dermatologists actually did a study and published the scientific results in a peer-reviewed journal. . . . My acne disappeared completely as soon as I eliminated rice and potatoes.

He finds a study that supports the casual advice, he follows the advice, his acne disappears. By convincing him to follow the advice, the scientific study helped him get rid of his acne. Which is impressive.

The interesting twist is that the study was published twice, clearly breaking the rules. Bad scientists! Who did something really good.

Cheesy Video Changes Everything… Again.

Click here to see the video, but read this first:

Hey guys, Jeroen again here to share a weird update with you about another experience I figured I would share.

My buddy Shawn Heiner, a video game playing guru, has been struggling with acne for quite a long time, and just like me, he was pretty fed up with it.

He was so self-conscious about it  at times that he was afraid to let his girlfriend see him in regular light.

• Rather check out my top 5 tips to that work super fast?


• Or read my post about removing existing scars.

With a hopeless attitude, Shawn had been going to the dermatologist for years to do something about the redness, the blemishes, and those ugly annoying whiteheads.

I couldn’t blame him for his attitude, but I admired him for being proactive about it and actually visiting the dermatologist on a regular basis.

It was more effort than I had made about my personal struggle with acne.

I knew, like I had, he was truly struggling with acne, but he never really spoke to anyone about it except maybe his dermatologist.

I mean, how was I supposed to help him? I’m not going to come out and say, “hey, you’re acne is really ugly, you need to get real help.”

That would be pretty messed up right?

Well one day, he actually mentioned something about it to me.

I guess it had finally broken him so bad that out of desperation, he felt like he just needed to vent to one of his friends about it.

I assured him I understood what he was going through, and he knew I was genuine because he’d seen me struggle with it myself.

When he began to notice I wasn’t struggling with it anymore, he asked me if I had found some miracle cream or cleansing treatment that had cleared up my acne and left no trace of it.

I actually became pretty excited that I finally had some knowledge and experience to share with him.

We played a lot of PS3 together online, but he was always schooling me in every game I had ever played.

I said, “no cream, cleanser, or medication is going to get rid of your acne… it only temporarily minimizes the symptoms before it makes it worse…”

He replied, “trust me, I know all about that… So how did you do it?”

I showed him some cheesy video online about curing acne permanently that had completely changed my life.

He agreed the video was cheesy, and he was kind of turned off by all of the grammatical errors in the text and of the narrator.

I said, “well, Dr. Mike Walden is pretty bad with grammar, but he is a doctor, and I have to admit, he is an expert on holistically curing acne forever.

He’s helped thousands of people that had the same problem as you and me.

He also suffered from severe acne himself, but now, like me, he has permanently smooth, radiant skin.”

Shawn liked the idea of treating his acne naturally, but he became very excited about getting rid of it all together… forever.

At first he said, “I don’t know if this is really for someone like me.

I’m a really extremely disorganized person, and I’m not sure if I could really stick to any treatment regimen.”

I looked at him,  raised my eyebrows and responded: “Are you kidding me? Do you know who you are talking to?”.

We just laughed and decided to forget about the whole thing and just go back to what we were good at (or at least him) – playing video games.

“I don’t know if this is really for someone like me. I’m a really extremely disorganized person, and I’m not sure if I could really stick to any treatment regimen.”

Apparently, what I had shown him had stuck with him.

Without telling me anything about it, he had gone back to watch the video again and try out the techniques.

To my astonishment, he had cleared up almost all of his acne after only five weeks.

We played video games online together like there was no tomorrow, but we did hang out in person on occasion.

Shawn had just gotten so good about knowing how the light hit his face, which way to turn when he was speaking to someone or when they were looking at him, and how to cover up his acne, that I hadn’t even noticed any improvement.

Then one day, we walked out of the movie theater after seeing a matinee show.

He couldn’t hide his face from the natural sun light, and then I noticed the dramatic improvement in his skin’s texture and smoothness.

I decided to ask him about it, and he said, “…Yeah, I actually have a before-and-after photo on that website now haha!”.

When we laughed together, I could tell how much better he felt inside – not just how much better his skin looked.

“…Yeah, I actually have a before-and-after photo on that website now haha!”

If you found my personal blog about my experience with acne because you are just like us, I just want to say that I admire you for being proactive.

I’m a big fan of people who just go out and do things to change either the world or just their own lives.

Hopefully you are able to solve your acne problem too, but if you are curious about how we did it, I’ll recommend that same cheesy video to you (it’s terrible, I know, but you might learn something too):

Note: If you scroll down on that page, you will actually see my friend Shawn Heiner’s testimonial about his results.

If not here, I hope you can get help with your acne somewhere and learn

   Hello Jeroen, there is indeed a need to take acne prevention treatment and how fortunate you were able to share your knowledge and experience with Shawn – my dermatologist advised to experiment with different methods of acne treatment to find what works best, as everyone is different and what works for some may not work for others. A personal recommendation really helps!

   
   

   By the way I wanted to let you know that I am ‘linking’ to your Site and have been for some time. You have an excellent Site and I would be honored if you would consider ‘Linking’ to my Site as well? My Site is called Acne Treatment Quick and is located at http://acnetreatmentquick.com. Many thanks and kind regards, Lionel Davel
