I need to treat my occasional (once a month basically) acne and my scars. do you have any recommendations for this?

Scientific Rx: If you have only occasional breakouts, you can probably keep them at bay with a salicylic acid wash or daily topical benzoyl peroxide. It's not pleasant but it's your best option. Nothing you can do will touch your scars, but a dermatologist or plastic surgeon can make them less visible with a laser, microsurgery or filler.
