Covering acne scars?

[MGunz]

Well last year I was an impatient little bitch and fucked my hormones out the ass, and got horrific bacne. Its better now, but I'm left with red scars all over my back. There not dugout, there just bright red.
Im going on vacation next week, and would very much like to take my shirt off, and wanted to know if anyone knows any good products to cover up the scars with? Maybe like a self tanner that looks semi-natural?? Anyone one ever tried covering them up before? Howd it work out?

A tan would cover it up some. Maybe go hit the tanning bed and get a base tan? Only thing that ever really got rid of a good amount for me was a long time ago I got a horrible sun burn and a good layer of skin peeled off when it healed. Didn't get the burn on purpose tho. lol

I went in the tanning bed for HALF the set time last month and the scars got very aggrivated. They puffed up and it was pretty nasty, so tanning bed is out of the question. I wonder if the natural sun will be any better. It just sucks becuase im in awesome shape and cant even take the shirt off. Its really depressing.

See a dermatologist.

yeah he says there going to fade, just that it will take a few years. He says he doesn't think I will need laser either becuase they are not dug out. But come on as a fellow user of AAS I figured you guys could realize I don't want to wait a couple of years before I can take my shirt off again. I'm going on vacation NEXT WEEK...

isotretinoin (needs a script from a dermatologist)

already finished a 6 month script..like I said no acne left...just red scars.

well damn, that was my best idea! i have no idea aside from letting time run its course...

Best I can suggest is something like a cover up that women wear on their face or tan in a bottle (serious).

I went through the same thing on my chest, had to go on accutane and see a derm. It took about 1.5yrs after the acne was gone for the scars to heal. Now they can only be seen extremely up close as little white dots.

Nice post! keep the ideas coming. tired of the gd bacne myself. its gone now but the scars suck and i have not been able to find anything that would work to prevent it or help the scars. i only seem to get it at the end of a cycle and have never had a problem with any acne of any sort during any time in my life.

isotretinoin (retin A) is actually supposed to form brand new skin which would obviously help the scars, but lots of the time doesnt work.. and that shits expensive as fuck.. Besides that bro, the only thing I would reccomend which I dont even know if they do it for the back is a CYCLE (10-15) of skin peels or laser treatment. The skin peel pretty much scrapes off layers of your skin until ALL of your skin is flush with itself (no bumps/dents/scars)

A temporary result which actually I think is what your looking for is an artificial tanner. Go to walmart and get some of that spray on tan shit, it doesnt look terrible like actual spray tan at the tanning salon and will fill in the scars/dents on your body.
