Accutane and keloid scarring

[tical]

Anyone here develop keloid scars as a result from using accutane? I'm a little worried about this. I don't have any keloids but I've read that accutane could cause this type of scarring.

Not me, but my acne wasn't that bad really. If my skin isn't perfect I take accutane. What's a keloid

 

[Sober]

take care of it now asap. retin a / accutane. believe me me QV deca 300 left me with them on my back shoulders and and the middle of my chest. they itch and are not exactly pretty. ive heard of exreme treatmenst as far as to go to: getting some hydrocortisone(not sure if it was hydro) shots directly into them/ chemical peels/ or just plain surgery.

it really gets embarrassing when you want to take your shirt off and cant casue of scarring. you must be a darker skin guy.

keloids in regards to acne is he pimple healing to quick or not fast enough, i cant rememer, but collagen raises over the pimple.

ya they suck...i have a few..... the best bet is wait till your off accutane and then use some retin A micro for the minor scaring (dont use retin A and accutane togather since it may cuase too much dryness etc)

or if u have some cash go see a specialist and see about laser treatment.... u have to wait 6 months after u finish accutane in order to do this since the accutane weakens your skin and the laser treatment could cause even more scaring

acne scars suck

A keloid is a raised scar. It comes from overactive collagen deposition during the healing process. It can impact scars from trauma or scars from acne (like you read here). In trauma keloids, it makes a raised, purplish snake-like thing, like a fleshy mound 1/2 inch above the skin. Black people get keloids more than other racial groups. I was not aware that accutane caused keloid formation. I would suspect there is more information already available on why accutane causes keloid and why certain people keloid more than others.

When I was 20 years old (way before I even considered using AAS) I was hit with acne BAD. I had a little facial acne during my teenage years... but it was subtle. Anyways... my Doctor prescribed several months of Accutane therapy: 16 weeks at 80mg/ED. I experienced no scarring what-so-ever. It completely changed the structure of my skin... my pores seemed to disappear. That was close to 15 years ago. I've had no problem with facial acne since. Every now and then I'll get a zit here and there... or a nice heater on my chest or back. But the results I experienced with Accutane were nothing short of miraculous.

glad it seemed to work for you. when you were taking accutane did u break out right after starting it ? (some ppl get an intial reaction as it pushes the acne to the surface) also about how long till u saw results? just curious

Weeeww! I'm covered in those suckers on my back they suck! But I had really bad backne and also very keloid sensative. Bad Combo!

Dude... my acne got really bad during the first two months of Accutane therapy. I was in the ArmedForces at the time... and I could barely wear my barret w/o being in extreme pain. So yeah... the circumstances you described above are true to the letter.

It was so worth it though.

Will it take care of old scars too? Or do they have to be fairly fresh?

 

[dr0832]

no nothing will take care of old scares. Except for dermabrasion or maybe chemical peels or laser.

I used accutane about 2.5 years ago for 4 months at 80mgED. I had BAD BAD BAD BAD BAD facial acne. It cleared it up and I was acne free for over 2 years. Then I got some acne again, and I am on my 2nd week at 80mgED accutane and it's cleared all up.

No scars.

Do you naturally have oily skin? I know I do, fuck my skin, I hate it.

 

[dr0832]

I used to have very bad acne. I took accutane when I was young (14) and the acne came back in different parts of my body. I am now 21 and my acne is a lot milder (except on my back where its cystic) but still present. I have extremely oily skin. I will eventualy use some accutane but I don't feel like dealing with an initial breakout.

Recently i started taking guggulsterrones. (I also have been taking B5 for 8 months) In the past week i have had ZERO acne. I would seriously suggest trying it. Obviously its not a cure like accutane beecause if you stop taking it your acne will come back, but i have never found anythin that cure all my acne, including back acne. I have been taking 128mg in the morning of synthetic guggul sterones and 15mg at night.

I keep saying it, but no one seems to listen. 20mg accutane eod has me 100% clear with no sides except for mildly chapped lips. Even on cycle. Its that easy.

first off keloids are raised scars
the best things for old scars are from best to worst
1. laser treatments (smoothbeam, vstar laser etc)
2. mircodermobrasion
3. chemical peels
4. retin a micro
5. silcone sheets

fonz always said this all the time and i am glad it worked for ya broly

things that suck about accutane is the first bad breakout and possibly keloid scars are the shitest 2 things

 

[boston basher]

Accutane def works wonders! The b-5 didnt do a thing for me,Im currently using retin-a also for my mild scarring.

This entire thread is about useing accutane to clear acne. And for people prone to keloid formations the sides can also include bad scarring. I'm not sure where you were going with this, I believe everyone here agrees with you.

 

[zenalseda]

I got bad keloid scarring all over my shoulders and back and chest... and irritable bowel syndrome as well... I don't recommend it... it also caused me a lot of emotional stress crying for no reason and refusing to do things...the keloid scarring is the worst though... i've done experimental UAV treatment... steriod injections... scar sheets... and they still haven't gone away just gotten smaller...it might make ur acne go away but acne goes away... scars do not... and it looks like boils now... all over my back... i'd prefer acne...I don't know about you...
