I can tell that you're very frustrated with your scarring. This is the usually the case with almost all individuals that I've come across who are suffering from your condition. Since the scarring is located close to the upper dermal layers it can normally stretch to the point where it isn't noticeable. The small white dumps that you see are either the result of folliculitis and/or overactive sebaceous glands. I've seen great results with the 585 nm pulsed dye laser. For some cases depending on the depth and characteristics of the scars, even DEEP resurfacing treatment seems to significantly lessen their appearance. However, generally deep resurfacing treatment is usually exercised as a last resort but in any case consult your doctor. Good luck to you!

Hi !! I have the same problem and your solution seems like the most accurate one. I have a dermatologist appointment next week, will definitely ask for 585nm pulsed dye laser and steroid injections.
Thank you !!
