I have KP & KPRF. I have not really picked at the bumps much but my question is this: By using the loofah sponge isn’t that like scratching them? Will it give me scars? I don’t know if I have the scars already or not, I have brown spots in addition to the red dots. They look like freckles. Are the scars like the scares you get on your face if you pinch the pimple?

I just want to know. The sponge has gotten rid of the bumps but not the dots and I don’t want to stop using it, but will if any it has caused scars for anyone else. I have looked really closely and I am not sure what I could call a scar or just some other mark. This is a serious question and not a joke. I really want to know. Any insight is greatly appreciated.

I don't think they're scars, they're just dots. I never pick and still have them. Actually, when u scrub really hard and it starts bleeding, it looks bad for a few days, but when it heals, it's clear(kp-free). i have few patches of clear skin on my arms as a result of that. I also started using lemon juice (citric acid) to lighten my skin and dots, and i'm definitely seeing and pleased with the results.

Yes, that is what I have after I got rid of the bumps w/ the soap and then used the Oxy to fade the red dots that are now light brown from the Oxy. It's better then the red dots I think. I have it on my legs. I used the Oxy for 2 mos.How long have you been using the Oxy? Kim
