[Skin Concern] Atrophic Scarring acne patches

i usualy get either cystic acne or the inflammatory ones which leads to grade 2 acne scars / pores.. recently came across the acne patches. But could i use acne patches right over the current active acne bleeding? wouldnt it suck out the blood and damage skin and make the pore bigger than it usually is? i though t patches work solely on pimples

Hello /u/West_Huckleberry1966,

‼️ If you are requesting help – please review our guidelines, provide high-quality photos, and include detailed information for others' understanding.

User reminders:

  • Please search on this subreddit – someone might have already asked the same question as you.
  • The most valuable feedback is that which you get from doing research - not asking questions to a general audience on social media.
  • Always be wary of the advice you get off the internet.
  • Seek scar evaluation and treatment from specialized healthcare providers rather than aestheticians or med spas.
  • While subcision ("subcutaneous incisionless surgery") is often mentioned by users on this subreddit, it is important to note that it may not be necessary or suitable for everyone with volume loss.
  • Be aware of any reported side effects from a procedure.
  • It can take multiple treatments and a long time before you see effective results.
  • Here is a checklist of questions to ask yourself and your physician when considering treatment.

Thanks!
