I used to have pretty bad acne when i was younger. I went on accutane about 2 years ago and it worked out great for me. i'm 19 now and use a moisturizer to keep my skin from getting too dry, but i don't necessarily have acne problems anywhere like i used to. My skin is just very rough/bumpy in a way especially on my forehead. Is this acne scarring ? Is this normal for 19 year old skin ? I know it seems really minor compared to issues that others have, but it really bothers me. Are there any treatments that can maybe help with this? Any information or help would be greatly appreciated

It is not scarring. Those bumps are caused by excessive oil production. What will help you greatly is a chemical exfoliant with salycilic acid.

Okay that will help, thank you. Should I get an at home kit or try to go to a professional to get it done?

Stridex maximum strength pads have really helped me with those bumps on my forehead. The pads are alcohol free and the active ingredient in them is 2% salicylic acid. SA is great for penetrating pores deeply.
