That very well maybe a big contributing factor to your acne but genetic predisposition is a part of it too.  Wash your face well but dont over dry your face. Again see a good dermatologist and work with him or her knowing it may take time for things to improve and adjustments in your regimen may be needed. Good luck

I defer the treatment of Acne to my Dermatologist colleagues. There are many options and no one option works for everyone. Acne is a chronic condition but with good topical treatments, diet changes and time most people improve their acne. See a good local dermatologist and see what he or she would recommend for your acne. As far as acne scars, again topical creams and lasers and peels and dermabrasion are all solutions but I cannot tell you what do do without seeing you.

Dr. I have acne scars but to be honest the color of the scars don't bother me so much unlike the the fact that they are starting to deepen and I hate that crater effect that's happening is there something I can do to even up my skin again even if the actual scar doesn't go away I just don't want the crater look I want my skin to be smooth one level plz help

Hi. You have to see a plastic surgeon or dermatologist who focuses on acne scars. The deep ice pick scars or craters that you mention can be improved but it is difficult and there are limitations given each unique skin type and color. Dermabrasion, CO2 laser and other options are available but make sure you find a true specialist. Good luck

@DrNaderi My skin is very pale, yes. I will talk with a doctor, thank you!

@LuizaCrystina

Hi. Dermabrasion works better for rolling scars because the dermabraded wheel can file down the area nicely but your skin has to be pale in color and you may or may not be a candidate for the procedure. Regardless you should see a doctor who has lots of experience with Dermabrasion, lasers and peels.

Hey doctor, you said phenol peel works better for wrinkles and hyperpigmentation than for "deep acne scar pits", but, my question is: would it work for rolling scars and not so deep acne scars? Thanks!

Thank you. Traditional CO2 lasers are more aggressive than any fractionated CO2 laser. Sciton's profractional laser is NOT a fractionated CO2 laser. It is an Erbium fractionated laser which is weaker than any CO2. But with lasers, the strength can be dialed up or down and many other factors influence outcome or even candidacy for treatment. Find the best doctor possible and let him or her examine you and make recommendations to you based on your skin.
