Dark acne scars.....: Agree with recommendations to see a dermatologist or cosmetic surgeon that specializes in management of acne and acne scarring. You can achieve significant improvement of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, and acne scarring as well as controlling on-going break outs by using combination therapy including orals, topicals, peels, isolaz, laser resurfacing treatments. Most of all be patient.
