Lately just the areas of scarred skin on my face have been getting flaky, and in some of my dent scars i™m getting almost tiny zits around the edges? Most of my scarring is pretty textural overall, but it™s still pretty significant. 

I haven™t changed my routine lately but i™ve been on a retinoid (tret and then aklief gel) for nearly 8 months now consistently, and have been on spiro and bc pills for about 2.5 to 3 months to control my acne from a bad reaction to a birth control. My scars are pretty recent but like.. older than 3 months recent.

I have some raised acne scars which have kind of evened out a little in the past month as well. It™s all still there but they do seem less raised and defined a little bit. At night I can feel those scars and some of my other ones tingle or twitch a bit? Not sure how to describe it. I™ve been taking pictures and can tell the raised scars really do seem a slightly better.

And the past few weeks my scars have started flaking and everything else I had said before. 

I can™t tell if it™s related to the meds/topicals or what™s causing it... maybe the weather?

I don™t know if the flakiness is related at all to the slow improvements my raised scars have had.

Has anyone ever had a retinol help your scars? I™ve heard it can take over 6 months to see a change with that. And I know boosted cell turnover makes your skin flaky...

Are my scars just starting to remodel after a period of time? Am I totally crazy, or is it nothing? Could they be getting better or do I just have dry skin? lol

I don™t really know what™s going on with this. I can™t really find anything at all about this experience elsewhere online. This is kind of a vent of things running through my head; but I also wish I knew what it meant. I hate how isolating dealing with scars can feel.
