Brutal postacne

[MikeShinoda]

Is it over for me? 19 y/o, 6'4, live in not most competitive region but have terrible, just terrible postacne. Deal with acne from 13, currently end my acutane course - should started it 5 years ago but was totally dependent on my parents and they just don't care or ignorant, i don't know...
Don't have any social or romantical life - can guess why. Skipped my prom (well, I'm not regret it), don't have any photos.
Someone dealt with such SEVERE postacne? Or it just basically meaningless at this point?
Sorry for bad English.

not at all ur just out of the dating game till the PIH clears up and u lose fat, use glycolic acid 6 percetn twice a week, wear sunscreen, use tazarotene 4 nights a week (start a twice a week) , azelaic acid twice a week in morning, maybe take oral liposomal vit c twice a day and in 3 months it should be gone completely and ull have better skin than before the acne

i noticed the boxcars if glycolic and taz doesnt clear it up try laser or chemical peels at the derma office, maybe microneedle at 1 mm once/twice a month until then

Idk how good this routine is, I am still dealing with active acne but even with my scars and acne I am not even close to as hopeless as you seem. Your case isn't that bad and would easily improve to 90% with a routine and scar treatments and im sure even more with time and more treatments @MikeShinoda

tretinoin and glycolic is an amazing combo and actually reduces even atrophic scarring

wow, 91% saw at least a moderate improvement, would definitely be good at home routine with something more extreme from a derm or aesthetician. Can I PM about advice for my active acne?

thank you guys, it's actually amaze me how this community can be such active and committed to helping others. But i still don't sure about effectiveness of like any routine if we talk about scars. Do you have procedure experience or some info about it? I mean such things as microneedling, lasers, subcision, tca-cross etc.

you can do at home microneedling thats what @AySab (Who knows a lot more about this stuff) did and saw good results. lasers subcision and tca cross are a bit more higher end and imo can be last resort if taz glycolic oral supplements at home microneedling etc didnt work out. id give it 4 months and if u see little improvement then id consider laser subcision or peels (take b/a pics tho cos u tend to underestimate progress)
