How to get rid of red acne scars ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Let them fade: They are the new vessels forming to nurture the deep healing connective tissue that was destroyed by the infection. Let them do their job. If you have depressed scars that are no longer actively healing, then you'll need to get with a dermatologist or plastic surgeon who has a filler, microsurgery or laser ability.
