I started having acne when I was 11 (I am now 17) and ever since it has been very severe. I have terrible scarring and redness. I went on accutane 2 years ago and I have pimples, but not terrible breakouts anymore. Although, my awful redness and scarring have not really started fading. My dermatologist keeps telling me that it will just take time, but 2 years is enough. In the pictures below, it doesn™t look near as bad as it does in person. I just wanted to give an idea.

I think your skin looks beautiful!  It looks more red and pissed off than hyper pigmentation from here...have you talked to your derm about finacea?  Girl, make sure to take care of that gorgeous skinny n..when you get older you™ll thank me...spf and retinoids are your friend!
