Hi I am 19 and only have a periodic flare up due to my horrible diet. Although I rarely get acne now I am left with scars due to my picking when I did get them bad and they won't go away. What should I do to get rid of the scars because they are driving me crazy.

I don't know how well natural means work. If you try it and it works I would be interested to know. You have several procedures available:
1) lazer
2) chemical peeling
3) fillers
I have seen the result of chemical peeling and to be honest I could not tell the before and after difference.
I have a friend who did lazer and you can't tell she ever acne problem, although the procedure is gruesome and you will suffer for a while after the procedure is done.
Fillers are used for scars where there are "holes" in your skin.
One relatively new procedure is where they take fluids from behind your ears and fill the holes up. They are your own cells.
They also have other synthetic fillers.

First of all, as you should already know, stop picking on you acne. If it comes out again there are many peroxide based medicine that can help you out.
But for the scars, use make-up until they fade away. Dont be ashamed, just dont overdue it. Or to put it all together, use a "peroxide based madicine with make-up" mix.

I know I sound like an infomercial but Pro-Active is really great. I am 23 and still use it. I had gotten acne really bad a few years ago, and like you I popped and picked all the time. I bought the pro-active and it stopped the acne, but it also dramatically faded my scars, kinda expensive but well worth it!

While it took little less than two months for me to really see a difference, my acne, blackheads and whole lot of other skin problems I had such as eczema had completely cleared! It was totally amazing...
Get Rid Of Acne Permanently?

Chemical peels at your dermatologist are really the only way to get rid of bad scarring ( it also lessens or gets rids of the 'discoloration' acne scaring),
They hurt alot the first and second time, but after that it's a breeze. & it also keeps breakouts at bay.

get used to it, scars may fade over time, but they are scars and they are permanent. Expensive laser treatments can also minimize them more quickly, but again, they do not completely remove them. A scar is connective tissue the body produces to repair damage that the skin cannot heal.

I have the SAME exact problem! I mean, what I do is just put on cover up, but that wheres off.
They do have creams out to fade the scars, not sure if they work or not.

Cocoa butter always helps. Just rub it on before bed or before you go out in the mornings. You should see the difference in about a week.
Good Luck!

I had the same thing. It took less than a year to go away. Just take good care of your skin to prevent future breakouts.
