Dear a.a.s, Your problem is not easily solved online. If scars are involved, they need to be 'evaluated' for the type of scar & the treatment is tailormade for that individual patient. No two scars respond to the same modality of treatment. Please stop using things like betnovate or other steorids on your face for acne..they cause immense problems like thinning of your skin, redness etc & can lead to formation of 'steroid acne' that is stubborn & resistant to treatment. Do send me photographs of your face for a private consult or visit your nearest cosmetologist for best results. Good luck with your scars..Dr praveen Rodrigues MD Dermatologist & Cosmetologist, Bangalore, India
