So I need to know if this is normal.
2 weeks ago I applied EMLA cream on my scars on my stomach, rolled semi intense with a brand new 1.5mm Dr.Roller, some blood (not nearly as much as those pictures of professionals) now 2weeks later, the scars isn't really improved, but the skin surrounding them is still the same redness as it was the day after the roll.
So now my stomach has 2 big red areas, what to do?

(I checked my dermaroller before and after use, no bent needles)

Sorry I can not help with this, however have your read/posted on the Dermaroller thread on the DIY Forum. Im sure you would get plenty advise there.

P - I wouldn't expect the scars to "improve" after just two weeks. That is going to take time (months.) The redness is another matter though, and that doesn't make sense. Is it hot and tender? Could your skin be infected? I would pay a visit to a dermatologist if the redness doesn't subside soon. That just doesn't sound right to me. You might also post this on the Skincare Tools and Do It Yourself thread, where a lot of the dermarollers read!
