A member asked:

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Manage the acne: I'm sorry your acne wasn't treated as it should have been. Nothing you do will change the scars, but a dermatologist or plastic surgeon can treat it with a filler, laser, or microsurgery. It's your call whether you want the repairs done. If you're not acne-free now, use benzoyl peroxide and if your trunk's still involved you'll need prescription Rx from your doctor, perhaps spironolactone.
