Hypertrophic acne scars

@peatolish Progest-E! Topical to try and reduce the scarring (by its nature this will only have limited but I believe noticeable effects) and orally to improve the hormonal profile causing the overdevelopment of scar tissue. Doing everything to improve the progesterone:estrogen ratio basically.
Avoiding soap might help too, but some people have jobs that really just don't allow them to do that. In my case I get by just using baking soda and vinegar, but I don't work a physical job.

@peatolish +1 to Progest-E but as Peat cautioned it’s important to make sure your vitamin D level and calcium intake are high enough to avoid activation of certain estrogen-producing enzymes (7-keto I think was in the name) by the progesterone. If you’re not sure then vitamin E might be safer to start with. Or maybe the vitamin E in the Progest-E obviates the risk, it would be good to go back and check what Ray said.
FWIW what you’re describing sounds similar to something I have on the left side of my nose which tingles like it’s growing whenever estrogen or prolactin are rising, if I consume TocoVit or slather it on the skin the tingles go away.
