Looks like hyperpigmentation to me. It's common for people with darker skin. Basically your skin has produced too much melanin after it's been wounded. It can be treated with topical products such as ...

Could you elaborate? Are they sinking in, becoming deeper/more depressed? Or are they becoming more red? The latter is the norm from what I understand. You should expect prolonged bruising and redness...

@Lennon33 I'm just trying to help you. You said it yourself, you are mentally defeated by a spot. That warrants psychological help, doesn't that sound reasonable? There's so many people with worse ski...

If you think people stare at your skin and look at you weird then you are deluded. You don't have any craters, you have very shallow and minor scarring. It doesn't even look close to bad in a single p...

Have you been to a dermatologist? I usually pluck the hairs that grow between my eyebrows.

Of course you can drive. It's not like blood is going to drip into your eyes or something. You'll be a bit bruised up, that's all. If you're red as a tomato, then yes, you're probably gonna get some l...

@andyc192 I'm sorry, what scar? I don't think AMVC is a thing. It seems like most people "get it" from using exfoliators. Exfoliators have a tendency to uncover damage that was already there. You mig...

@il90Haven't looked that much into those tbh. I feel like subcision did work for me, it's just that my doctor wasn't that skilled. The scars he managed to subcise correctly showed improvement, and I d...

I'm Swedish too. I have relatives that live in the US though and I go there regularly so I'm gonna get scar treatment (subcision + more) there with an experienced doctor. It might not be a viable opti...

They do subcision at Stellakliniken but it's expensive as hell so probably out of your budget. Scar treatment isn't very established in Sweden, they will recommend laser every time. If you feel like i...

To add on what @f93d said. Many before and after photos are shot in different lightning, so it might seem like a huge improvement but in reality it isn't the case. I can take close ups on my skin wher...

I get you, we all have things we obsess about. If it means anything I think your scar is so insignificant that getting depression over it is absurd. No one will ever care about that scar except you. D...

Um, like any dermatologist that does cosmetic work? Look up dermatologists in your area.

Not sure what you're talking about, but here's some insight on your situation. You have atrophic scars, probably caused by the acne you needed Accutane for. Your skin will look better if you give it t...

If you go to a qualified, reputable doctor that performs TCA cross you won't get permanently damaged skin. Most horror stories are from people who try it on themselves. If I were you I'd talk to a der...

Hyperpigmentation usually responds to topical treatments such as chemical peels or light exfoliators such as an AHA so it's more treatable than erythema. If it's hard to get rid of or not is individua...

Time. How long is very individual, it could take months or years. Make sure you always use sunscreen to make sure it doesn't turn into hyperpigmentation.

Looks like you still have active acne. It's recommended that you take care of that before starting any scar treatments.

I don't get what you mean actually. It's not like one treatment is gonna make your scars disappear. Either you see improvement or you don't. How much improvement have you seen?

It's probably erythema, which means skin products won't help it. In most cases it heals with time but you can speed it up with light treatments such as IPL or V-beam. I have scarring that is st...

Looks like these would be suitable for subcision. They're very minor so I believe you will see good results. Read this study:
