Some choices ..a chemical peel, ProActiv, see a cosmetician.
If I could spell isthmian (told you) that is someone that is trained to reduce/remove imperfections of the skin. An other option is see a dermatologist.

Hope you work this out...Good luck

Depending on how bad the scarring is, you can try the home Microderm abrasion kit. I use the Neutragena (Sp?) Brand. It helped even out my tone while reducing scarring. I also use it on my hand and neck to get rid of the dark skin problems that I have caused by PCOS.

Two of the procedures used for improving acne-related scarring are:
1) Dermabrasion, where the area can be "sanded down" with a small rotating
wheel. There will be some scabbing and swelling that will probably last a
couple of weeks.

2) Laser Resurfacing, where the outer layer of skin is vaporized with a laser.
This procedure may be more precise than abrasion, but may also
require a longer healing time.

If you are serious about doing something about your acne scars, ask your primary physician for a referral to a dermatologist.
