How can you remove scars and acne?

Scientific Rx: The scars can be addressed by a dermatologist with filler, microsurgery, abrasion or laser. Don't try anything yourself. For current acne, benzoyl peroxide has probably failed if you have old scarring, so you will need prescription strength rx. Any home / pop cure is an adjunct only. I'm sorry you have not gotten adequate rx so far, and i urge you to initiate physician contact now.

See your doctor: Scars mature and can continue to improve for up to a year. They are sun-sensitive and may become hyperpigmented with sun exposure. The best way to treat a scar depends on the scar. Options include silicone gel, silicone sheeting, use of filler (for spot or crater-like scars), laser therapy, hydroquinone, dermabrasion, or kenalog (triamcinolone) injection, or surgical scar revision. See your plastic surgeon.
