Q: any advice? i have got acne scars on my face and back?

You have options: I&#x27;m sorry your acne was neglected and you ended up scars -- in the 21st century, nobody should have to have this happen. Nothing you can do will touch them. A plastic surgeon or dermatologist can make them less visible using microsurgery, a laser, or a filler. Or you can do like several hollywood male leads and keep the scars for the &quot;tough guy&quot; look.
