I™m 17 I never really had bad acne till about October last year, before that I only had some whiteheads n my face during high school. I then developed severe nodulocystic acne i got a gp referral, got antibiotics, they didn™t work so i went to the dermatologist who gave me some steroids that helped with calm down my active acne then i went on roaccutane.  Have been on it for about 3 nearly 4 months now and my skin has changed drastically, (the first pictures is not my acne at it™s worse that it just when i started taking pictures) but i just want to know what are my options to the scarring i have on my face in particular my temple area. P.S I know i still have active acne and i won™t be able to do any treatments until months after i finish my course of roaccutane but i want to know.

@Tarantino98I don't see you yet at a scarring phase, perhaps you mean the slight box cars on your temples and upper cheeks.

Your biggest issue is not scarring but PIE or wounding post acne. The redness. I see active acne that must be treated! Some helpful treatments for this are ematrix also called sublative rf OR picosure for your skin type helps as well, OR Vascular laser. You need to get to a Derm and stop the acne or you will have much worse scarring.

As your 17 you will heal with time, without many treatments, get the acne, PIE under control.

Some do Low Dose Accutane.

Once you get this stopped, you can do subcision on the temples and cheeks w/ Chinese cupping(see the FAQ- top post of the main sub). Do NOT do this now as you will spread infection and be casing new problems.
