A member asked:
How do you avoid any kind of deep scaring? i have a few that are light but i can still see them from yrs ago and now some new ones from my recent acne
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Accutane: Accutane is the only drug we have that can stop further scarring. For old scars you could have laser resurfacing or regular dermabrasion done to try to make the scarring invisible.
