How long does it take for scars left by severe acne to heal?

pls, for those who have experienced severe acne at one point in their life. How long does it take to heal?


thanx!!|||it takes about 1 to 2 months for complete healing. if u still have some redness or anything like that its all part of the clearing up.be patient things take time.good luck|||They tend to be around forever. Prevention is a better idea.





Dermabrasion or plastic surgery may eventually be necessary|||Well some never heal unfortunately. However, vitamin E capsules do work wonders with scars. I would definitely try that. Buy the capsules break open and apply gel directly on skin. My brother in law had a scar on his face and used this, you can%26#039;t even see it anymore.|||They never do, they will fade with age but you got them for life Im afraid|||get some acne cream|||u should buy a cream for that.|||some go away some don%26#039;t. best way is to go to a dermatologist


but my aunt did have this cream from the philippines and it worked on her but it takes time.|||Sometimes they do not heal without the intervention of a dermatologist. If they have been there for more than 2 months I would consult a doctor especially if your acne is resolved. I know dermatologists have some methods that work. I know it is important to find a reputable one. There are also over the counter remedies, but I do not know if those work.|||You got it for life bud.|||Sometimes, it never heals. You may need to see a dermatologist for help.|||could take a whole year to heal but sometimes it doesn%26#039;t heal on its own but neutragena has acne scar creme for that...








I had some, they do heal but it takes time ...|||Depends on genetics. You may scar easily as a result of that. But my face has taken over a week to heal. You might want to try ambi its a skin discoloration cream that helps speed the healing process.|||Healing will improve with Vitamin E cream, I think. My mom has bad scarring still, so I don%26#039;t know if it always heals totally...|||usually the scars never go away completely. the best thing to do is to see a dermatologist and see what they can do for you.|||Sometimes the scars do not go away. However, there are procedures to make the skin smooth again. Talk to a dermatologist or a plastic surgeon.|||yeah. black people have razor burn for life.|||Good question.|||they never go away completely unless you get something cosmetic done.|||Some never heal. Go to a dermatologist they may be able to help|||Sometimes they take a few months, sometimes they don%26#039;t. Talk to a dermatologist and try some over the counter scar remedies, like Mederma.|||my friend got them and they never heal u have to have them surgically removed








sorry :)|||Natural remedies are best. Try Aloe Vera cream or jel, it%26#039;s cheap and very effective. Also keep out of the sunshine and lots of mosturising.|||Well, some of the scars maybe permanent... but, you can always try coca or shea butter lotion to lighten the scars, or go to your local drug mart and and look for scar removal patches or creams.. they should be in the first aid section. well, hope i helped.. if my suggestions don%26#039;t work, you can always go to a dermentologist, or a skin clinic, they offer a variety of services to help remove and lighten scaring left behind from acne.





I don%26#039;t have severe acne, but i have it, and i also have scars that come with acne. I used Neutrogena Multi Vitamin Facial Treatmen (?) .. its something along the lines of that. It really helped lighten my scars. My face looks so much better for that.





Well, i do hope that i helped you in some small way. =D





take care,
