Not sure what to do at this point. Maybe co2 laser but been putting off all these years since I do have some melasma and could make worse. I for the most part accepted my scarring. It took me many many years to try to be okay with it. Now that I'm aging I now getting wrinkles and I hate it. My texture is awful. I'm 50 but see much older woman with much better skin. I actually can't stand looking in the mirror nowadays sadly. I use retin a and have for years. I use sunscreen everyday stay in shady spots. Never tanned but over the years I do have some sun damage despite my being diligent. I just feel like I look old with bad skin. As you can see I'm over weight and have been for years but I don't eat junk food much. Try to eat mostly healthy proteins, vegetables and fruit. Am I perfect, no but I do try most days. I'm on hrt. Been on it for about 4 months. Still in perimenopause. My parents, siblings have great skin. Honestly I'm embarrassed by my skin. I want to hide sometimes. Not wanting anyone to feel pity for me truly just expressing myself here cause it feels like a safe space. I have spoken to my mom about this. She thinks I might have been but pics don't lie. I have taken these pics in some more unforgiving lights to show the texture I see when I look in the mirror. Sorry for the rant. Maybe laser is going to help...not sure....it seems like mixed results. Thank you for listening. Any ideas what might help?
