He is right. Sorry.: There's more to do for the depressed craters. I'm really sorry you acne wasn't treated as it could have been, and I hope that if you still have it, you are managing it. However, you can make a conscious decision that the scars mark you as a "tough guy" / "super high testosterone". Charlie Sheen, Jet Li, and (supposedly) Brad Pitt chose to keep theirs for this reason.

Explore your options: It is difficult to comment definitively without looking at the skin. There could be procedures like subcision or fillers that could be appropriate. Additionally, you can undergo fractional ablative laser treatment. I would NOT give up and I would respectfully disagree with anyone who said that you just need to live with the scars.
