Hi everyone!
I had a severe acne breakout last year due to some underlying medical issues. Thankfully, my acne eventually cleared up, but it left behind a lot of scarring that I’m still struggling with.
Initially, most of the marks were post-inflammatory erythema (PIE), but over time, I also developed atrophic acne scars, particularly on my cheeks. I have a combination of small, deeper scars and rolling or shallow depressions, along with persistent redness.
It has been several months since the breakout settled, and although my skin has improved in some ways, the scarring is still quite noticeable, especially under harsh lighting. I’m hoping to find treatments that can make a meaningful difference over time.
I’ve attached photos of my skin for reference. I would really appreciate advice from anyone who has dealt with similar scarring or has experience with professional acne scar treatments.
I would really appreciate any and all advice.
