As the title says, I'm looking for how to take care of these particular acne scars. They certainly don't send people revolting, but unsightly enough that I'm self conscious about them (aren't we all?). I'm fairly aware of all the available treatments ( I don't need a thorough explanation of them), but there is way too much conflicting information out there, such that I can't decide how to treat these. 

Important info: I'm 17 years and 8 months of age, my skin seems to be on the sensitive side (even though I never picked my skin I still got this scarring), and my skin color is on the light side (though not pale). I apologize for the poor lighting and mediocre image quality (I don't own a professional camera). If the image quality is too poor, then notify me and I'll try again.

Many thanks,
alekgn

Hi there, your scars are minor and your young, I expect good recovery with time and some small treatments. I would do some glycolic peels. If the peels don't work well talk to your doctor about getting some retin a or tretinorin cream for night time which is a good alternative to the peels. I would not do laser or anything too harsh as it will heal with time, and you being young. You have small surface box cars.
