As you can see, there are just slight slight pits in certain lights, I can't even see it myself in the mirror, just if I photograph it very closely upfront with my phone. I had very mild acne as well but used things like Basiron and might have been sensitive to it, that's what caused my red marks.. But you do believe that my skin will recover to the way it looked before? The small pits has come now recently along with the marks getting smaller and less red, it feels like it's a part of the healing proceess, but I don't know..

only red marks, if i were you i would use a salycilic acid lotion with benzoil peroxide to keep acne under control and vanish the redmarks with time
good luck
Thank you!
Another thing, when I smoke ciggarettes, my marks appear much redder and worse than if I haven't smoked in like 2 days, is it irritation or am I like allergic? I have a pretty stressful life right now and would like to not give up smoking as of right now, only smoke a couple each day, used to smoke half a pack a day, and when I did that my acne was at its worst, it's also when I got my acne, I have never had it before I smoked.. I'm willing to give it up if it's the cause of my acne, but is that even possible?
smoking can worsen acne and worsen skin regeneration that can lead to scar,
smoking can lead to a more inflammation too which is bad for skin
smoking is overall bad for your skin long term,
if you want to have a clear skin you should work on every possible acne trigger and eliminate it,
and considering by your nickname you are only17 years old, your body and hormones are adjusting and youre changing and becoming a man,
smoking in this age is a terrible idea
