Over time the scars eventually will fade. Try to lightly exfoliate your skin about once a week and keep it moisturized. Some OTC products may contain an ingredient hydroquinone that is linked to cancer so using topical treatments may not be advisable.

All scars will go way somewhat over time. Moisturizing can help. I've put neosporin on cuts and scrapes and find it helps with scaring if used right away, maybe it will help with acne. Probably won't hurt unless you have very sensitive skin (may cause a breakout, not probable though). Also, discoloration will go away all by itself over time and will acne scars less noticeable. Most products are scams.

There are all kinds of facial masks and treatments which can help either lighten up the scars so that they are not as visible or completely remove the. If the scars are small you can get away with using zenmed scar treatment kit which works. but if they are big and deep then you might have to resort to demrabrasion or laser.

Try to put cream on your face everyday and DO NOT PICK! Wash your face daily and in the summer make sure you put sun screen on those spots or they'll get darker. Any light exposure will make it worse and darken.... don't be self conscious of it either.. It's very normal. Just put cream on everyday and they will subside eventually.

Most of the scars may go away with time.
You will need physical treatments for those thatdo not go away.

your scars will go away over time. i would personally cover them up with light foundation, maybe cover up concealor. If you can murad and aveda also sell some skin lightening products which I use on my scars. seem to help them go away a little bit faster. other than going back to doctor, not much else you can do.
these products aren't cheap, but I find they work.

Neutrogena visably even. I used just the lotion and my skin was perfect in about six weeks. I know it seems like a long time, but it is worth the wait!
