Ok so I uploaded a post a while ago about hyperpigmentation which I have with actual scars too! Can you guys tell me what type of acne scars do they look like? Can I get them treated? I'm only 15 years old? I wouldn't pick at them either wth? Tried telling my parents about seeing a dermatologist but they said I shouldn't worry about it cuz I'm a guy and not a girl.. Pretty sad about it specially cuz they're my parents they should help me out not just abandon me like that. Either ways to me they look like rolling acne scars? What would help to make them look better? And am I too young? I've been treating my acne better and have noticed it going away a bit now it's just a few here and there especially when I drink milk.
Hi there, I would not do much to your skin, your 15 years old and your face will heal some on it's own. It's hard to tell from that pic but I see rolling / box cars. They are shallow without much fat deficiency. As you cannot goto a derm because your parents say no. I would wait on that until you are able to go on your own. Right now you could buy the derminator (that's probably expensive for a 15 year old) or a manual dermastamp on owndoc.com and stamp them to soften the scars. Acne.org in the above store sells a glycolic acid peel that would help a bit and is not to strong. You will need to do this for a year alternating a light acid peel and dermastamping. Do not do anything drastic because in our teens we grow out of acne / scars sometimes.
