Dermatologist helps: One's dermatologist can examine the old scars to see what can be done. Some techniques include chemical peels to smooth out tiny defects, dermabrasion to sand the skin to become more even, and injecting fillers into some spots. Different dermatologists may use different methods, so it is fine to get opinions from two dermatologists.

Acne scars MAY: be helped w/vitamin E oil applied to the skin. You can find it in the drug store or health food store. Also, consider seeing a dermatologist. That type of doc specializes in skin issues. Peace and good health.
