There : There are many options for acne, but often Accutane is used for the cystic, scarring type. After the acne is controlled, a dermatologist can discuss options to treat the scarring such as chemical peels or laser resurfacing. Read more Accutane treatment at the link below. I hope that helps!

Because : Because of the scarring it causes, cystic acne can have a dramatic, negative impact on a person's self-esteem and long-term quality of life. Unfortunately, there aren't any over-the-counter or home remedies that are truly effective for dealing with this issue. On the other hand, there are a number of treatments that dermatologists use to reduce and even eliminate the scarring caused by acne. If you don't already have a physician who offers treatment for acne (including scar removal), find a dermatologist who does. While it takes time to address acne scars, most people are quite pleased with the results. (keep in mind that most dermatologists want your acne to be controlled before they begin treatment for acne scars.) i've attached a link that discusses treatment options for acne scars. I hope things go well! http://www.Acne.Org/acne-scar-treatment.Html.
