This looks to me like very superficial scarring, that can only really be seen in angled lighting. The scars, shallow as they are, seem to be small boxcar scars. I think you may also have large pores. Remember, You are probably looking much closer than others are, and in most lighting it will be a lot less noticeable (e.g. when the lighting is all around you). This doesn't seem like it would require treatment but if anything a low percentage TCA or or office micro needling could be done to perfect your skin. Overall it looks quite even in the photos, even if it might not to you. I have worse scars than these, but they're still not too prominent or deep, though i do plan on getting treatment. Do what you want man, but they're really not that noticeable, keep fighting brother! Hope this helped.
