Hello,
My skin has been damaged by constant (mostly appearing monthly) spots at the sides of my chin. There is a discolouration which appears dirty/darker. On closer inspection it would seem to be a red colour skin under (maybe what is left of) some dots/pores of my usual white skin.
I don't know if this is common or what the name is for these scars.
I have a single needle however I would like to check in case there is anything I should know (in addition to basic treatment regime described). Also perhaps length of needle.
Thank you very much : )

I mean i'm just checking mostly that it would not make it worse - apart from in the case described here on the site of the unlikely case of people that have skin that reacts with a scar to the needle. I know i must test for that first. Has anyone had the type of discolouration I have and seen improvement. What might I expect? It seems almost to me that the upper layer of my skin there is missing.

I think in your case the single needle is not suitable. I recommend a 0.5 mm regular dermaroller. Roll about three times a week.
If the spots are acne-related, buy our 0.025% Tretinoin cream. It should keep it under control but Tretinoin initially dries out the skin and can be irritating so do not apply it every day and use just a little.
