Does tanning help heal scars?

Answer

I just searched on google, and it looks like you should use 100% cocoa butter. I also read that Vitamin E helps, and one of the Google Ads mentioned a product called Dermisil. I have been tanning for about a month now, on and off. When I began I had significant noticable scars near my underarms and my waistline, due to a ten pound weight loss/gain fluctuation over a period of a few years.

I use Tone 24 Hour Quick Absorbing Body Lotion moisturizing lotion a quick rub in the am and another in the pm, daily, as it contains cocoa butter as well as Aloe Vera and Papaya (smells delicious --the island mist scent) which is crucial to any tanning endeavor...And while tanning I'm using Australian Gold Crystal 5 dimension bronzing lotion which contains 5 bronzing agents and 21 nutrients (black walnut, DHA, lipobronze yada yada yada) ... So far my stretch mark scars are alot less prominent and my skin looks great- the elasticity and softness has improved.

Sephora sells many bronzing lotions and potions that give you a deep, rich looking tan almost to the point of not noticing scar tissue, which is another great option.

My experience with Mystic Tanning booths was successful as well.

  • Note: scars never dissappear unless perhaps you partake in laser therapy but they can be disguised.

Where is acne usually found in teenagers?

Teens are prone to get more acne on their face than any other age. The main reasons can be from not well enough skin treatment, stress and not natural sleeping patterns. You can clean your face and neck twice a day with soap/scrub, drink lots of water, and get lots of sleep to prevent the most amounts of acne. Try as much as possible to stay stress-free, and treat your skin well!

How can you cure a blind pimple?

See a doctor. Don't mess with stuff that's close to your eye.

I first noticed what looked like a firm whitehead in my eyelash line, about 6 mos ago. Doc originally thought it was a sty. Recently had him look at it again, and he sent me to an opthamologist. Eye doc said, Plugged Sybacious Gland, ie...Pimple, but because of the location, you can't squeeze. He poked it w/a sterile, very thin needle, then squeezed. I sat there thinking, "Why didn't I do that?" LOL...Seriously though, you do want to be careful around the eyes.

Do not poke or drain things yourself!! Just wait it out and see a doc if it doesn't shift

What kind of birth control pill clears skin as well?

Dear Reader; The pill of choice for acne is the one designed for daily use. You will find more then one name from different manufactures. Contraceptives can cause dark spots on the skin which can be made darker by sun light. I did not find the pill mentioned as a treatment for any other skin problems at this time. As usual read and follow directions and check with your doctor or pharmacist if you are using other medications. Dwight

AnswerALL birth control pills (hormone altering) and also HRT (also a derivative of birth control pills)to help with the symptoms of menopause heighten the estrogen level in women and often will clear up skin or make a woman look a few years younger. Having gone through menopause naturally after learning what HRT can do (as well as birth control) such as increasing heart attacks, blood clots and breast cancer I'd rather have a few spots on my face or look my age then risk the other side effects.

I use Estelle and it helps my skin more than any other antibiotic acne treatment I've tried. It's helps both the spots and the oil balance. You must be patient for the results though, it can take up to 2 months to take affect.

What is the best way to get rid of old scars?

Post Operative HealingFollow the surgeon's post-operative instructions. If healing appears to be unduly delayed ask for a consultation with a RN trained as a wound care specialist.

Once the wound drainage ceases keep the site continuouslycovered with a thin layer of "over the counter" anti-biotic ointment until completely healed.

Studies have shown that this will increase the rate of healing by 20-30 %. Additionally, and especially with non-surgical abrasions, the scarring will be significantly reduced.

In the case of wounds located such that the ointment will be quickly rubbed off on your clothing you may cover it with a dressing lightly saturated with the ointment.

Siliocne Scar Sheets (self adhesive fabric patches lined with specialty Silicone)After the incision is healed, it will still look very red. It can also get a build-up of scar tissue that could leave a raised area on your skin, depending on where and what kind of scar you have. But if you use silicone scar sheets your scar will leave the least noticeable mark on your skin. And alsoby massaging the scar tissue, you will keep it from building up in that area as it heals and will keep your skin pliable. You don't have to do this for long. ScarAway makes a professional grade siliocne scar sheet and a silicone serum in a massaging applicator.

If you have a scar that is raised or discolored, silicone scar sheets are the best thing to use. They resemble fabric patches and are lined with a specialty silicone that helps reduce scar tissue. It is a pain free at home treatment, and the results can be dramatic. Over 20 years of research show it is an effective method of both treating and preventing scars. In the medical profession, silicone sheeting is considered first line therapy for abnormal scars. This type of treatment has been used by hospitals and burn centers for years, but now there are some professional grade silicone sheets available over the counter.

I used silicone sheets a few times.

The first time because I developed a reddish purple thick rope like textured scar after a surgery a few years ago. I previously tried every over the counter cream and sheet and even an expensive cream from my dermatologist. Nothing worked. My scar was over three years old and I had nearly given up hope when my doctor recommended trying ScarAway sheets. After just a few days my scar was noticeably softer and after a few weeks, the itching was gone and it was flatter and less red. After 10 weeks I could not believe the results. My scar has virtually vanished. All that is left is a faint whitish line, but it blends with my skin and is no longer raised up and thick, and no one points it out anymore. These sheets were very easy to use compared to other scar treatments I've tried. I just put it on my scar after showering and sometimes just left the sheet on for days, opting to cover it when I shower instead of taking it off like directions say to do. I was thrilled to be able to wear certain clothes again after years of covering up my scar. :)

I used it more recently for some raised up purplish acne scars on my face and shoulder. I wore them at night and they receded and faded very quickly. I used the serum during the day and put makeup over it.

My mom used them on her heart surgery scar almost right after surgery because this type of surgery is know to often leave a very thickened raised scar. It helped speed up her scar healing and her scar looks amazing. No raised spots. Even the doctor was pleasantly surprised. At her follow up visit he said she looked like she had been healing for a year and it was only 4 months.

I love silicone scar sheets. When everything else failed for me, I was glad to discover them. I keep them around for whatever life has to bring.

I purchased mine at Walgreens and on Amazon.com
