Scars vs red marks: Thanks for the opportunity to clarify. True acne scarring, as demonstrated by mr. Pachall, is depressed lesions that are permanent. The acne that caused this should not have been allowed to become so severe. All healing acne leaves some red marks that fade after a few months as the new vessels mature and are not always wide open. I'm very glad you're being treated & wish you the best.
