I have acne scars, a few of them and i get pimples on and off. was advised tretenoin,and doxy. have been suggested mandelic peel.m not sure if i shd.

How patient r u?: if you can be patient, the scars usually get dramatically better with time. if you are eager to have a small improvement sooner, the peel might help. the doxy orally can help if you still have inflammatory acne. the tretinoin can help reduce scarring & can be irritating, so be careful & don't overuse.

Discuss with dermato: Mandelic peel rejuvenates the skin,makes it smooth it is good exfoliant.Itmay help you . you can discuss with dermatologist .
