A member asked:

Could most acne scars fade over time?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Which type?: Hyperpigmentation fades in a few months at the most. The actual scars that you can feel will not go away. I'm sorry this happened to you, and if you wish, they can be treated by a specialist with a laser, filler, or microsurgery.
