Hello people, first post I am just wondering whether this is active acne or just PIH/scars, my skin feels smooth to the touch in these areas, if you guys want any additional information feel free to ask.

Also if it PIH/scars, what would you guys recommend doing?

From the pictures your skin looks pretty acne free. Looks like just PIH. But I can't really tell you if you have active acne or not.

You should really know that.

Yeah tbh thats probably the worst it can look, what would you recommend for PIH then? Hoping to improve it significantly by university in october (is this optimistic?)

Time is the best option. Otherwise, you should clean up your diet and give the body all the nutrients it needs to repair the damage that is done. I would look into dermastamp/roller and see where that takes you with the application of topicals as well to further enhance results. Maybe some peels or ipl laser to address the redness? I see maybe one or two small active spots, the rest seem to be just what is left over in the aftermath of acne lesions.
