PP back-ne

amd1982

gross i know - but during my pregnancy i had a lot of acne on my chest and back where i NEVER experienced breakouts there before in my life. i always had really clear skin both face and body (probably due to being on BC haha).

anyway, PP the chest acne and facial acne has gone away completely. however even though I never picked anything on my back, the acne breakouts i got on my back left a lot of scars which is just weird. i'm fairly olive skinned so it's not horrible, but still leaves me feeling really self conscious now that the warm weather is here and i can't cover up. whenever i'm in line at a store i feel like the person behind me is looking at it LOL. anyone have any advice for fading? i have the ProActiv brown spot fader that I've been putting on but doesn't seem to be doing a whole heck of a lot. we have a few weddings this summer too and i'm feeling really self conscious about wearing a strapless dress. help!

I have no experience, but I wonder if Mederma spelling? would help...it's made for scars.

I've heard good things about this as well. I am having a horrific pp psoriasis flare and just weaned so I can start meds. Once I clear my skin, I'll still have the pink scars all over my arms and legs, so I was planning on Mederma. I also hear it helps with stretch marks.

You can go to the dermatologist and get a prescription for hydroquinone cream. You can use it as long as you're not BF or TTC.
