Prevention : Otc benzoyl peroxide to start. If this doesn't work, then see your doctor or dermatologist for prescription medication. See http://www.Ncbi.Nlm.Nih.Gov/pubmedhealth/pmh0000030/. If there are permanent scars but no active acne, then see dermatologist or plastic surgeon for minimization of the scars.

Different options: Are available... First, you need to get control of the acne itself, if you haven't already. Depending on the size, depth and number of scars you can consider peels, laser treatments, dermabrasion, etc. Seek consultation with a facial plastic surgeon.

Diminishing scars: The best methods are fractional ablative laser treatments with an erbium laser or a series of chemical peels, likely requiring tca at least initially to get deeper penetration. I agree that treating the acne first is a vital component, as these treatments can cause flare-ups of the acne.
