So, I have mild acne but nothing too serious that make up can't hide. Anyway two months ago I woke up with a massive red lump on my forehead which was so sore. It soon formed scabs but foolishly picked it off and was left with two majors holes!! I have now holes in my forehead which are about a month old and it so obvious, so embarrassed. What can I do?! Seriously considering lazer or chemical peels? Anyone had success in this?

What kind of scars are these? If it's actually a Harry Potter scar, you should totally keep it. This website has information of types of scars and how they can be treated, and I'm sure a dermatologist would also know what to do. Don't fret! :)

I'm not sure, if I post pictures of what's happened would you be to tell me. The first photo is what i woke up to, the second is the actual holes I had about a month ago after i picked the scabs, eeek!

 

This is the 'hole one'. Sorry it's so gross!

 

And here is the other one..

 

This is how it looks at the moment although it is more darker than my actual skin colour which doesn't show in this photo. Thanks for your help!

That looks like a boxcar scar, but I can't be entirely sure since I'm not a dermatologist. It seems like a laser or dermabrasion treatment might be your best option. Here's what acne.org has to say about scars and treatment options :) I hope you can find a solution!

That actually looks pretty deep. I don't think lasers or chemical peels will help much. Look into surgical procedures.

I would probably just excise it and be left with a small linear scar.
