Keep hoping, ivmi. Two and a half months does not equal 18 months. Let nature fill this in from the bottom up. I know you are anxious to see signs that this resolving, but you have to be patient. A plastic surgeon recently told me that those over the counter creams with onion extract and such do nothing special for scars. Always have hope. Let time pass, then check into laser re-surfacing. I am not an expert on this, so I would be curious if anyone knows for sure if laser re-surfacing can be performed so close to the eye on such delicate tissue.
I liked that the good doctor said electrolysis scarring is rare. She?/He? is correct.

P.S. I'm still searching for that picture her on hairtell I told you about.

I've decided to post a photo of my eyes day after that horror electrolysis here is pic http://i43.tinypic.com/2dakqpu.jpgI do know that some pits are here because of probe low insertion, my right eyebrow has only one indented scar - and that scar is made because low insertion, these scars which I have been posting to you all the time are result of high levels and to long insertion... don't ask me how I know that...i remember everything...some hair which was very close and was treated,connected and created one big pit..I already read some case of scarring here on forum...come people really do heal, but there are no pics, so I can't know for certain if their problem was bad as mine...I can also remember that 2 or 3 weeks after electrolysis there was no pits only hyperpigmentation. Than it started dent...so i suspect on collagen loss..I hope that it wont get more indented...and i started to frightened of wrinkles because a lot of people with electrolysis pits suffer from wrinkles... P.S. Dee i found that girl with chin scarring! but the picture disappear from that link! If i'm right her thread is on 155 page, here on Professional electrolysis...

It looks like it is filling in, so there is hope. You need several more months of healing before you know for sure that time has helped mend this. What are you using topically? Eat a nutritious diet. I think we all know or can research what that means!
Dee
P.S. James, there was a picture of poster 'tomblily''s overtreated chin from 2005. It has disappeared from the link posted. Do you think the poster deleted his picture? Ivmi would like to view a picture of overtreatment. Can you remember seeing any other pictures here on hairtell of what electrolysis overtreatment looks like? I'm looking in my files for tomblily's picture, but it is tedious and time consuming.

well..i don't use anything special... :)) i use a sunblock creme and every day I stole a bit of my mom's creme against age wrinkling :)) it's called vichy lift activ pro :))..i thought that it will give my skin enough hydration :)) and...sometimes I keep ice in bag on it...cause I've heard that freezing the scar tissue can lead to heeling the scar...so I thought I can try,why not? it certainly can't make it worse...

From the vitamin therapy side of the equation, you can help improve the healing by getting 5 to 15 grams (yes, I said grams, not millagrams) of vitamin C per day. Dr. Linus Pauling advocated for that dose daily, for everyone (15 grams) and he and like minded collegues found higher doses to be beneficial for high stress, and healing situatoins.
You can't zoom up to that high a dose unless you are in a high stress situation, so you have to start slow and ramp it up steadily. If you take more than you can stand, you just get diarrhea.
Burn patients have healed super quickly when given 50grams per day for 3rd degree burns. I would not imagine you would need more than 20 to 25 for the type of healing you seek. Of course, skin also likes to have plentiful Vtiamn A, E, and the full B-Complex. Use mega doses of these, and you will get your skin back, and maybe fis some sub-clinical problems you did not even know about.

( electrolysis was made 8.4.)  the scars are not presented in their worst light but i think that you can imagine very well how they look like for real.. i bought vit C...im taking it in dosage of 1g per day...for now...i also apply after sun creme which has extract of aloe vera & A & E vitamins...and almost forgot...I'm taking pills which prepare skin for sun (with beta complex)...i think that it is enough...(?)
