Will benzoyl peroxide help get rid of my scars?

I have acne on my face, my chest, thighs, butt and back. It's all dry now so I consider them scars. What do I have to do to get rid of them? I've had acne for 4 years now.

Also, I don't know if I can use the benzoyl peroxide on my face.

Anyone recommend a regime or something to get rid of the acne/scars?

Thanks so much!

Benzoyl Peroxide treats acne; not scarring.

 

And when you say scars, are you talking about actual scarring (fibrous tissue that replaces normal tissue destroyed by injury or disease), or post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (red, pink, or brownish marks that can linger after acne, but fade eventually--although it can take months or even years)?

FUck what that other guy just said he doesn't know shit, I been takin benzoyl peroxide for a year and yes as your skin dries and rapily sheds more skin causing new skin to generate yes it does help acne scars because your slowy shedding the scars away plus benzoyl perozide.
