My 13-year-old daughter has acne and already has scars. Her doctor has told her that a way to get rid of them is to get laser treatments. The thing is, they aren't cheap but they definitely are more permanent than trying to cover them up with makeup or getting collagen injections to fill them out.

Dry and/or greasy skin due to poor oil composition of the skin. Thick greasy oils clog pores, lack of oil leads to dryness and irritation. You need thin oils to moisturize while dissolving and clearing gunk in your poors. Try fish oil or seafood. 2 tsp fish oil a day or 4 servings of seafood a week. Stick it out for at least 2 months; it will take a long time to replace all your oil. Any effect after 1-2 days is temporary or random; so even if it makes you break out a little at first, you haven't given it a full try yet.
In the short term you can wash and moisturize well, but that will only go so far. Plus excessive washing can be drying and excessive moisturizing can be clogging. Use a small amount of a light moisturizer, made with oil not jelly or grease. Often that means soybean oil or mineral oil. Mineral oil means mined from the ground. So soybean oil is usually better, though mineral oil won't cause too much harm. Clean with soap and water, not a harsh acne cleanser. Even then they only work so well. So you really need the seafood.
Antibiotics aren't really good for bacteria long term, they'll come back in force after. Short term they may help. After you get off them find some kefir with acidophilus listed first or 2nd to replace the friendly bacteria they destroyed. Studies show less illness when you have these bacteria, even outside the stomach in places such as the lungs and elsewhere. You want friendly bacteria to fill the void when the antibiotics stop, not harmful ones.
In the short term you might also try 100,000+ iu retinol vitamin A (a megadose, and too much for normal use) or one of the acne drugs that is similar to retinol vitamin A. It's some minor harm to your organs, but it helps against bacteria on your skin. At least it doesn't have the other long term drawbacks to your skin that antibiotics and many scrubs do.
If you would like to learn how to treat your acne permanently and regain your health and wellbeing, without drugs, without typical acne treatments, and without any side effects, then this will be the most important letter you will ever read.

vitamin e oil, you can get it pretty much anywhere, when i was 3 i was hit by a car and i have gross scars on my legs and ankle but i put vitamin e oil on them every night for 6 months and it was a miracle, definetly give it a try!!!!!!!
Oh and when you are buying it, turn the bottle up and down to see how thick it is, the thicker the better and quicker it will work! I hope this helped!

I'm 14 too and I even though I have mild acne scars, they still make me self conscience. Try asking your doctor about Pro-Active. It helps alot of people but don't be disappointed if it doesn't work. I don't think it's going to hurt to try it.

try this remedy:
boiled water, fresh parsley, let it cool down, keep it in the fridge, use it as a tonic, morning and evening, it will even the skin tone, clear the skin, and if u add some rose water to it it will minimize the pores. I've been doing this since i was 12, and now I'm 36 and it still works with me, and with my daughters 2.

That doctor is a liar, find another one. I've used hydroquine and Tri-Luma (prescription medicines) and cocoa butter. They are working for me, but the results aren't immediate. You can use cover up in the meantime.
