Are my scars likely to fade any quicker if I don't wear make up?

I just finished a course of accutane and my skin is looking loads better apart from scars. It's my absolute dream to one day feel comfortable going out without make up on and I'm wondering if there's any relationship between wearing foundation and scars fading? Obviously I know avoiding make up helps stop new spots too so I guess can't hurt, but I'm very scared at the prospect!

If you have to wear makeup wear makeup during the day. Make sure it's non clogging of the pores. Some are really bad for the skin. Clean it off properly every day as soon as you can. This sounds like PIE or redness from the fresh scars of acne. Goto the skin section in my below FAQ in the signature and find PIE and PIH, read that. Some put aloe vera and honey on their spots, others triple antibiotic, v-beam / Excel / etc or vascular laser helps these red spots turn normal skin color.

If you search on Google fornon comedogenic makeup there are a ton of choices.
