Facial scars: scar do fade but may not go away entirely. Silicone tape/creams can help fade scars and it is over the counter in pharmacies. Laser treatment can help resurface the skin. There is also microdermabrasion and chemical peels f/u/ w/ dermatologist http://www.livestrong.com/article/80258-silicone-acne-scars/ http://www.webmd.com/beauty/skin/cosmetic-procedures-scars?page=2
