    I would go and see an estisionalist! They are predomenatley employed by health spas, but there are some that have their own practice. They specialize in Glycolic peels, facials, back treatments, High frequency, and of course the ever popular micro-derm abrasion. If that doesn't work the only other route is to go and see a plastic surgeon. Talk about chemical peels, electroliosis, laser work, and even bleaching. All of the suggestions under plastic surgery should be consulted with a doctor, and heavily reaserched before hand you may be to young for some of these procedures. Keep in mind that everything listed is cosmetic so it won't be covered by health insurance, but that is all you really can do. There are some oitments and creams, but none of those offer optimal results. Remember too there is no cure for acne. So just because you get any of the procedures done does not mean acne goes away.

    NATURAL ACNE PROTOCOL

    1/ Never, ever touch your face.

    2/ Use 3 facecloths to wash your face, one to soap on, one to soap off with very hot water, one to rinse off with ice cold water, in that order, once a day.

    3/ If you are under 18 take 5,000 IU of vitamin A once a day with a full meal

    4/ If you are over 18 take 5,000 IU of vitamin A twice a day with a full meal.

    Do not get pregnant while taking vitamin A. Do not take any more, like Accutane, it will stop you growing.

    5/ Never, ever. pick, squeeze or pop your spot. Read number 1 again.

    6/ Do this for 90 days.

    7/ Invest in a brand new pillow and 2 new or more pillow cases to �double bag' your pillow. HOT wash every couple of days.

    A bit of advice given to me as a teenager, a bit of science as I am studying allergic reactions and vitamin A is a part of that. A bit of research: I sat in a lecture at the back and watched the acne prone pick at their faces, those with the worse acne touched their faces 32 times in an hour, the clearest complexions didn't touch their faces even once. I have circumstantial evidence that acne is the result of dermatophyte transfer from hands to face...where it does not get washed off and is well fed by hormones, sweat a

    nd oil...just a hypothesis... But it would explain why vitamin A is so effective as vitamin causes skin to remove dermatophytes.

    The secret is never to touch the spots

    Tips on how to treat acne and achieve perfect clear skin in as little as 7 days?

    A drug recommended by many dermatologists for the worst cases of acne scars is Accutane. It is the wonder drug of the 21st century to prevent acne scarring in acne sufferers.

    Accutane is a very controversial drug to use as it can cause birth defects. Doctors caution that you should always check whether you're pregnant or liable to be pregnant before commencing a course.

    There are also concerns that Accutane may be taken off the market because of the risk of birth defects, which has many acne scar sufferers concerned. However many doctors say as long as adequate precautions are taken there should be no problems with patients with a bad acne scar using Accutane.

    I would say use vitamin E oil and apply it on the area...it sounds like it might be acne scars from having acne

  • How do you think about the answers? You can sign in to vote the answer.
  • there is this stuff called "Scargo" you can get it at Whole Foods or the earthy section of your grocery store (maybe) but it breaks down scar tissue and helps reduce scars. it's pretty inexpensive and natural so it's safe to use on your face and near your eyes i'm sure.

    my sister had a huge seat belt scar across her chest and after she used the scargo you could hardly see it.
