I've had acne ever since high school and now Im 22..I'm still struggling with it and all these scars!!!
Sometimes I get so self conscious about it, I don't even want to go out to see my bf or my friends.
please tell me what I can do about it...I'm at the point of breaking down

I would never leave the house w/o makeup...
I'm so depressed...and especially wen I see these girls that has normal skin...
I feel ashamed to look at them...I feel like Im ruined..and theres nothing I can do about it ;(

Those look like shallow icepicks.

If it makes you feel any better, those can potentially go away on their own, since they look very shallow. I also don't think your scars are bad, in fact, it took me a while to really register them as scars.

what can i do to make them go away and improve my skin overall???

I looked at your skin and didn't even see scars. They just look like pores to me. But I'm sorry you feel so self conscious

[ANGEL1990]

they are there...under certain lightings you could see it more visibly...
I have pretty bad discolorations around my chin area too...what should I possibly do to make them go away fasterrr???

Honestly, I think you're being far too hard on yourself. Your skin looks fine. If you still want to improve texture with laser, I recommend fractional Co2 laser treatment (Fraxel re:pair, Total FX, MiXto, etc.). Use caution when selecting a doctor for any laser treatment. Avoid medispas & only let an experienced doctor treat your skin. You can't be too selective.
