please help with acne scars!?
i am black and i have a lot of black acne scars on my chin, cheeks, chest and forehead. i don't get too bad acne, it's more of black heads and i have scars that are more like when you pick a scab (they aren't raised or indented or anything, just darker patches of skin, i guess they're superficial?) and they are small, but numerous! does anyone know of any over the counter treatments i could use, or any treatment that doesn't involve lasers or anything? i've heard the hydroquinon (sp) is not so good for black skin and the vitamin e can sometimes make the scars worse! i also have dry and oily skin. please help! thank you!

Acne scars are normally treated surgically or physically. Can acne scars be treated with topical medicine? Let us find out.
Depressed acne scars are places on the skin that have lost collagen because of the infection. As new skin forms over the depression the scar becomes permanent. To treat the scars one has to either treat them physically or make collagen grow in the skin below the scar. That lifts the depression and scar stops looking prominent. A topical that helps collagen grow should be used for this.
Vitamin A topical applications such as tretinoin boost collagen production in the skin.
Vitamin C topical also boosts collagen production in the skin. You should consult with your doctor about Vitamin C topical brand because Vitamin C is highly unstable and must be formulated properly.
Some other formulas are available that reduce the scars. Mederma and scarguard brands of the USA are popular amongst these formulas.
