My diagnosis of this is that they are somewhat rolling scars, small icepick scars, and little boxcar scars with of course hyperpigmentation. Can this type of scars be treated? I am currently starting my Retin-A regimen and plan on sticking with it for 6 months before quitting. Would this help fade these scars, and possibly fill in the smaller scars?

*my beard makes the scars look less than they appear, which is why I grow one =S)

these look like hyperpigmentation as well as some very shallow rolling scars. Maybe some boxcar. These are very shallow. You could wipe these out with some ablation treatments with lasers or dermabrasion. Even a microdermabrasion could help a lot.

I agree with your diagnosis. It's not much of an issue. They can certainly be gone if treated smartly. I, personally, never recommend anyone to go for surgical treatments and go for topical that are safe to use. I would suggest you to try hypoallergenic scar therapy that worked for my facial scars too. Hope it helps :)

You have blue (green?) eyes, you are already going to be treated better than a brown eyed person with perfect skin and features.

okay I have to ask, what does this mean about the blue/green eyes and treated better?

He is here because he wants to improve his skin so he is more attractive to women, 99% of which prefer light eyes, so he is in very good shape already.

Lol this is ridiculous.

Since these scars are shallow, would overtime use of Retin A get rid of these since it helps with collagen production and sheds off layers of skin?

Theoretically it should. Also the use of copper peptides may speed up the process.
