What can i do to treat scars and stretch marks?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Improve, not remove.: Scars cannot be removed but there is a large variety of techniques to improve their appearance, both surgical and non-surgical. Your acne should be well-controlled. See a dermatologist or plastic surgeon (board-certified) to begin your search for an appropriate course of action. The only way to remove stretch marks is to remove the skin that contains them. Good luck!
