Do Shallow Scars Fill In?

Hi guys,

A little bit of background. I have asian brown skin. I am 16. Currently my acne is under control although I get 4 cyst every week or two.

 

Because I have brown skin, my acne leaves brownish purple marks that takes months to fade but that's not my main problem.

My problem is, some of them leave icepick scars. They aren't deep as what some people show here. I can see the base of the scar ( the inside skin of it) especially when I stretch it. But sometimes the light from the sun make them look deeper in certain angles. I can't see it in some angles and some lights though. Most of them are on my cheeks.

Will these scars fill in by themselves? Since I am young.

I hope so cause it's getting me down.

Should I post pictures?

Well since you said they're only shallow, as your skin renews itself they're become less noticeable over time. I have pitted scars and they continue to improve. I've seen some threads where people have just left their skin alone and taken pictures over time and you can see that they have definitely faded on their own.

Thank you very much for your help. It actually gave me hope :) If possible, may I know the threads you are talking about? :D

Also, I am aware that we have different perspective of shallow scars and deep scars.

I am interested to hear other people`s view of a shallow scar.

Yeah, when I blow up my cheeks , the pitted scars stretch out and aren't visible anymore. Does that mean they're shallow?My derm also told me that they'll fill in with time.
