Dermarolling caused too much skin growth

 The area where I have the most acne scars (on both corners of my lips) has become very bumpy with what looks like the overgrown of skin. I am not sure what to make of this. Sorry for the quality of the picture but I purposely took the picture with the sun hitting my face so that you can see what I am talking about.  I took a picture under normal lighting and you can not see the extra skin.  It looks like pimples in the picture but it is not acne. It is the overgrown of skin.

See those bumps...that's extra skin. I think Microdermabrasion will smooth it down.



Here's a picture taken of my skin under normal lighting. As you can see, the bumps aren't visible which is why I posted the bright picture above.

I am due for another dermaroll...actually I was supposed to roll on December 7th, 2012 but I didn't have the time. I will probably roll this weekend. I'll post new pictures so you can see the progress. My skin is still healing (very slowly) so that's good. The acne scars look so much better but I haven't noticed much of a difference in my fine lines. Maybe I need work work on those areas a little harder....
