                        My mom has severe acne scarring.  At 24, I have my own scars, though they're not as severe.  I had warded off scarring until I was 23, when high amounts of stress caused a bad cystic breakout.  I had no access to a dermatologist at that time, which left me to fight a losing battle (and to scar).      I once tried Accutane, but after just one week, I had severe muscle pain in my abdomen.  My derm took me off the medicine, and I've never wanted to try it again.    At this point in my life, I plan to eventually have microdermabrasion.
